Critical infrastructure vs other industries bar figure

Summary

A single-comparison figure that turns two dollar values into a wall of thin vertical lines, where taller lines mark critical infrastructure's $5.04M cost and shorter lines mark other industries' $3.78M.

Visual description

White slide, "02 / Complete findings" header. The left column is a body paragraph under a bold "Figure 31" lead. The right two-thirds is a stylized chart: a row of evenly spaced thin vertical lines in a blue-to-violet gradient. The left group of lines runs full-height and is annotated at top right with an oversized "$5.04" and "Critical infrastructure industries"; the right group is much shorter, annotated below with "$3.78" and "Other industries." A chart title and "Figure 31. Measured in USD millions" sit above. The effect is a minimalist bar chart rendered as fine strokes rather than solid bars.

Key takeaway

Rendering a two-value bar comparison as many hairline vertical strokes instead of two fat bars: it keeps the slide airy and editorial while still reading as a quantity comparison. The big dollar figures double as the data labels.

Reuse notes

Best when you have a single, punchy two-way comparison and want it to feel designed rather than spreadsheet-y. The line treatment is decorative, so it suits a hero figure but not a chart needing precise readback. Reuse the gradient-stroke pattern across a deck for consistency with other line-art slides.
