Harbor Safety Controls — Pyramid

This pyramid chart organizes a specific real-world hierarchy into five labelled levels. The broadest level sits at the base and the narrowest level at the top, making the intended progression easy to scan. The values determine the relative widths; they should be treated as an illustrative distribution unless they come from a stated source. The example uses concise labels so it remains readable in a slide, training guide or operating document. A pyramid is strongest when the levels are ordered and nested. If the question is instead about people or transactions dropping out of a time-ordered process, a descending funnel chart gives the audience a more accurate visual model.
