Harbor Retail Regions — Sales and Margin
Harbor Retail compares sales growth and operating margin across four regions. North pairs strong growth with a healthy margin, while East protects margin despite slower growth. West needs a closer look because it sits lower on both measures. The chart is designed for a leadership meeting where the labels must remain readable and the action is to ask better questions, not to infer a cause from a single position. Equal bubble sizes keep the focus on the two axes. A subsequent version can map bubble size to store count or sales volume if that added measure supports the decision.
