Muchas gracias, Dario :)
Can you clarify what you mean by ‘directed graph visualization’, to make sure we’re on the
same page?
It seems like the bar graph recommended by Dan would be a good start, but we might also
consider another simple line graph to see how these patterns change over time.
I added your suggestions and links into a Notes section for the funnel dashboard ticket
#541, though I will most likely be split into a couple smaller tickets, like #305.
We’re hoping to have some of this data next week, in time for our Upload Wizard planning
meeting on Thursday — wish us luck :)
Onward!

Any suggestions for the best way to visualize the
data once we have it? Are there some existing LIMN graphs that would be well-suited for a
funnel analysis like this one? Or should we simply use a standard line graph as we do for
other descriptive metrics studies?
Limn doesn't have many graph types but it might have a decent one for this purpose:

So you could have Step 1, Step 2, Step 3, ... on your X axis, then the number of people
who made it through each step on your Y axis.
For a better funnel visualization, we should really support Sankey diagrams:

+1, this might be overkill for a linear funnel with a small number of nodes (where a
directed graph visualization, a line chart or an actual “funnel” [1] could do the job). I
agree Sankey diagrams would be nice to have down the line for more complex scenarios.
