A bubble chart is a type of chart that displays three dimensions of data: the x-axis, the y-axis, and the size of the bubble. A bubble chart can be used to compare and contrast the characteristics of different solution options by plotting their cost, value, and risk level on the three axes. For example, a solution option with a high cost, high value, and low risk would be represented by a large bubble on the upper left corner of the chart, while a solution option with a low cost, low value, and high risk would be represented by a small bubble on the lower right corner of the chart. A bubble chart can help the analyst and the stakeholders to visualize the trade-offs and benefits of each solution option and to select the most optimal one based on the business objectives and constraints. References: Guide to Business Data Analytics, page 77; Introduction to Business Data Analytics: A Practitioner View, page 16; [Business Data Analytics: A Practical Guide], page 121.
