Quando usar um Gauge Chart
You have a handful of KPIs
Up to about eight gauges make a readable dashboard in one embed.
Each number has a natural range
Percentages, scores and utilisation figures fit a fixed scale from zero to a maximum.
Readers expect a dashboard look
A gauge is instantly familiar, which helps when the audience is not used to charts.
You want a target marker
A mark on the arc shows how far each value is from where it should be.
