Definition of the ideal
Munzner ↗Brehmer & Munzner ↗Lam et al. ↗
Separate purpose, abstraction, representation, interaction, algorithm, work practice, user performance, and human outcome before selecting an evaluation.
The nine dimensions or their maturity scores; those are this report’s synthesis.
2017–2020 anchors
Vega-Lite ↗Data2Vis ↗Draco ↗NL4DV ↗
Declarative interaction, learned generation, constraint-based recommendation, and natural-language specifications had become demonstrable and inspectable.
Reliable framing, real-world delivery, or reader benefit.
2022–2023 anchors
ChartQA ↗LIDA ↗
Real-chart question answering and multi-stage LLM visualization generation crossed into repeatable public evaluation.
Professional reading reliability, rendered-chart human quality, or downstream outcomes.
Current construction, grounding, and steering
Data Formulator 2 ↗nvAgent ↗RealChart2Code ↗Raiven ↗DashArena ↗
Visible transformed data, structured database composition, harder real-data generation, constrained compilation, and open-ended dashboard attempts.
One transferable success rate, production maintenance, or reader outcomes.
Typed interactive-document authoring
ViviDoc ↗
A human-readable State–Render–Transition–Constraint plan can expose interaction intent and improve same-pipeline authoring measures.
Independent replication, source truth, representative readers, accessibility, production delivery, maintenance, or autonomy.
Current reading, integrity, and delivery
Chartography ↗Misleading charts ↗DashboardQA ↗Dashboard2Code ↗POLYCHARTQA ↗
Difficult professional reading, deceptive-chart vulnerability, dashboard navigation, hidden state, and multilingual chart QA remain bottlenecks.
The failure rate on ordinary charts or complete mobile, assistive, authenticated, and reader-tested delivery.
Human outcome and lifecycle
Proactive assistance ↗Touching or Chatting ↗KubeStellar ↗OpenClaw ↗Prism ↗
Bounded comprehension, preference, accessibility, novice production, correction, accepted second-person change, one repeat contributor, one project-authored recovery, one open proposal, and one multi-attempt chain through maintainer recheck can be studied directly.
Representative professional reader benefit, maintenance-authority transfer, or a complete production-to-maintenance episode.
