📊 How to read the radar chart
- Five spokes = outcome axes.
Higher values (further from the centre) are always better:
- Pain & Function – more relief / gain.
- Durability – longer‑lasting benefit.
- AE (inv) – fewer or milder side‑effects.
- Cost (inv) – lower time or money cost.
- Three coloured polygons = first‑, second‑, and third‑best options (based on your current slider weights). See the legend for which colour is which.
- Compare quickly:
- Overall area gives an all‑round sense of strength.
- Look at a single spoke (e.g. Pain) if that is your top priority.
- Spot trade‑offs – a therapy can stretch far on Pain but pull inward on AE (inv).
- Move the sliders and the shapes update instantly – try pushing Cost stress right to see low‑cost options expand.
- Tool‑tip: hover (desktop) or tap (mobile) a vertex to see the exact value.
Reminder: the radar is for visual comparison only; always read the full “Info” row and consult your clinician before making decisions.
