Nine-box grid

Power

two three-level axes · cells graded toward high/high · named entries with initials

A three-by-three grid of cells formed by two axes of three ordered levels, shaded in one accent that deepens as both levels rise. Each cell has an optional name and a count pill, and lists its entries as initials avatars with names and optional descriptions. Axis arrows, level labels and captions frame the grid.

When to use it

Use to place named people, businesses, accounts, suppliers or products into the cell of two supplied three-level assessments: talent reviews (performance against potential), GE-McKinsey style portfolios (attractiveness against strength), account or supplier segmentation. Levels are categories, not scores. Not for numeric positions (use a scatter or quadrant plot), for two-by-two classifications or for more than four entries per cell.

Adjust after generating

Change the style, colors, and font, and these options, as often as you like without spending credits.
