I would be very happy with just the 15% fan line AND I would even accept a button or a shortcut key to turn it on. I am NOT asking it be included on the SSG by default.

Thanks-

The only way to even GUESS what the horizontal lines represent on the SSG graph is by hovering the cursor over a data point. Once the SSG is shared as a pdf or as a print copy, even this becomes impossible.

In a recent BINC 2020 webinar it was suggested that a good method to project future sales and earnings during a recession is to plot future sales and earnings based upon near term average ACEs and ones' conservative projection mid-term. But, I asked the question how is it possible to plot sales and earning on a graph without Y-axis labels? The BI staff response was to look at the labels on the SSG graph, which were cut off during the webinar presentation! SIGH....obviously, the BI staff does not use the SSG, and does not understand this major drawback.

1. Request adding numbers to verticle axis similar to Toolkit.
2. Option to turn on or turn off constant compound growth lines.

Number the Vertical Axis and Add Constant Compound Percent Growth Lines to the SSG Plus

Number the vertical log axis and include constant compound growth lines on the visual analysis chart beginning at the origin of the chart and running across the chart.

• The vertical (log) axis appears to be auto ranging. While that’s understandable, the decision to make it auto ranging carries with it the disadvantages of disguising what the growth rates of companies are. Two companies that look similar on the charts may be growing at significantly different rates.

• Numbers on the log axis, would enable one to estimate the average percent growth rate plotted on the chart and compare it to that of other companies being studied without clicking numerous years away to then read numeric calculations.

• The divisions of the vertical log are made with horizontal lines spaced unevenly up the axis. There are about 12 of these lines per log cycle. That adds to the difficulty of using the divisions without numbers along the axis. I was able to determine the spacing is log base 10 by finding data points one log cycle apart on the chart and then observing the numbers were different by about ten times. But the “extra divisions” on the chart make it difficult to know exactly what is plotted.

• Constant growth rate lines assist in estimating both the growth rate and the variation of growth rate by visual inspection. This is especially important when auto ranging charts are used.

• I have noted the Core SSG vertical log axis is numbered. I regularly use the SSG Plus, but haven’t used the Core SSG since the SSG Plus was first introduced.
