Funnel charts visualize conversion or drop-off rates across sequential stages in a process. The tapered shape highlights how users, requests, or other entities decrease at each step.
Overview
Funnel charts suit standardized, long-running, multi-stage processes with a single direction of flow. Comparing data across stages reveals bottlenecks and supports decision-making. Each trapezoidal section represents the volume difference between consecutive stages.
