syrto_get_spider_graphs returns performance scores across N thematic axes per template (e.g. operational profitability, autonomy, capacity, operating cash flow, reliability). Each axis has a normalised radius value from 0 to 5.

​
Radar vs. spider

Spider graphs are distinct from the radar chart:

​
Ask for this when

  • You want a thematic financial breakdown across axes like operating profitability, autonomy, or cash flow
  • You explicitly ask for spider graphs or want to compare performance across financial themes
Example prompts: “Show the spider graph for Barilla”, “Break down Barilla’s financial themes”, “What’s Barilla’s autonomy profile?”
