If there is one lesson I can teach future analysts: If you want someone to draw a conclusion from a figure, state that conclusion. Don't expect that person to "just get it" from that figure. In fact, make that conclusion the title of your figure.

Some think this is "cheating" and everything should be evident from the figure. Nope. Everyone is tired and cranky and wants to know your point. You are paid to do the interpreting and to support that with evidence.

You're not a figure making machine. You're a conclusion generating human. That is all.
