Critique a data graphic against a nine-criterion rubric derived from Tufte's VDQI — score it, name the chartjunk species present, compute the lie factor, compare against the book's named-failure catalogue, and return prioritised fixes tagged with the Tufte remedy (B1–B7), genre to switch to (C1–C10), and exemplar to emulate. Use when someone asks whether a chart, graph, plot, or dashboard is any good; what is wrong with it; whether it is misleading or distorted; or how to clean up, declutter, or simplify it. Not for producing a chart file (tufte-chart).
