The Gas Gauge Is the Hardest Chart to Build

A line chart of monthly active users takes 10 minutes. Pull the data, plot time on X, count on Y, ship it.

Now try building a gas gauge for the same metric. You immediately have to answer questions the line chart never asked:

What value is "full"? What does the best realistic outcome look like?

What value is "empty"? At what point is this number a crisis?

Where exactly are the yellow and red thresholds — and can you defend them to Finance?
