How the period went, and what the headline hides.

For when A period has ended and someone has to know what happened in it: four or five figures each with the thing to compare it against, two or three pictures, and the finding underneath the headline.

Three examples

• Six small multiples on one scale, and the total hides all of itA good quarter with one category quietly falling over
• The headline and the same number with its confounder removedThe bill fell 30%, and a third of that was the weather
• A distribution, because the mean describes nobody in itThe average is twenty-one minutes and one ticket in ten waits nine hours
