This visualization provides invaluable insights into how your metrics have evolved, empowering you to make informed decisions and guide your business strategy moving forward. 

• Performance Monitoring: Track the performance of your metrics over time, such as mentions, reach, customer engagement, and more. 

• Trend Analysis: Identify patterns and trends by observing how KPIs fluctuate over different time periods, helping you anticipate future developments. 

• Comparative Analysis: Compare the performance of multiple values (like themes) side by side over the same time range, facilitating better understanding of correlations and dependencies. 

• Forecasting: Use historical data to make informed predictions about future performance and trends, guiding strategic planning and resource allocation.
