Overview

Immediate understanding of data composition

4 charts
ICE Class Distribution
Pie
Shows the proportion of events in each ICE Class (Transcendent, Humanitarian, Structural, Transitory).
Primary Motivational Vector
Horizontal Bars
Displays the frequency of each driving force (Love/Duty, Expression, Intellect, Fear, Force) present in events.
Nature of Progress
Donut
Proportion of events that resulted in Material, Mixed, or Moral/Spiritual progress.
Impact Amplitude
Bars
Distribution of events by their reach: Local, Regional, Continental, or Global.

Trend Analysis
