Pareto chart
A Pareto chart: four to eight causes as columns sorted largest first, each printed with its real count, a running-total line climbing over them, and the first few that make up most of the total picked out in brand colour under a bracket — 'the 80/20 rule' drawn: the 'vital few' behind most of a problem.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Pareto chart for posts that teach or prove a point, when the message is a number or a list. It is built first to teach.
It reads each post’s goal and shape first, then its own words, the platform and the facts you have, and offers this template only where it fits.
Who it’s for
Any business. Nothing in it assumes what you sell, so the Director can offer it to a software company, a café or a coaching centre alike — whenever the post fits.

What it needs
The Director offers it only when these exist. Without them it simply picks another template.
- A real number from your post or your brand facts
Rules the AI follows
Word for word from the template library. The Director follows the copy rules when it writes into the template, and the visual review checks every creative against the visual rules.
Copy rules
- Every value is a real figure from the post or the brand's facts, written as the source writes it.
- Every cause is part of the same total and counted in the same unit, so the running total means something.
- The headline names the few causes that matter in words; never a computed share the copy does not state.
Visual rules
- Columns on an ink baseline sorted tallest to shortest, heights proportional to the printed counts, each count above its column and its cause below; the first few columns in brand colour on a pale tinted band.
- An ink line with ringed dots starts at the baseline and climbs through the top-right corner of every column to the top of the chart, labelled at its end; a brand bracket under the picked-out causes carries its label.
