Version ribbon chart
Each version, scored on three measures.
Definition · Updated Nov 2, 2026
A version ribbon chart lines up releases side by side and tracks a few measures across them, such as success rate, cost and tokens. The candidate stands apart from the shipped versions. Use it for prompt, model and release comparisons.
Pay once. Every update included.

Code and Figma
One name in Figma and in code.

What people ask before they put a version ribbon in a dashboard.
Something else?
hello@usechartory.comThe candidate is the last column (V14 in the sample), styled apart from the shipped versions; the legend names both.
No. Each measure is its own row with its own scale and unit, so success in %, cost in $ and tokens in counts sit together.
One data object in the sample’s shape: versions in order, two to four measures each. The docs page lists every field and links its JSON Schema; the sample data comes with the component, so you can start from it and swap in your own.
Series take the preset’s data colours in order, and states such as up, down or warning take its status colours. Change the preset in Figma or in code to recolour every chart at once.
XS, S, M and L, in light and dark. Each size is laid out again from the data, so text and lines keep their size.
Yes. It plays in when it scrolls into view, and when the data changes every mark moves from its old place to its new one. With reduced motion on, it does not move.
Yes. The Figma component comes with Figma and Complete, the React component with Code and Complete.
Ask for it by name. The MCP server tells the agent what data it needs and runs the same command: npx shadcn add @chartory/version-ribbon. You review the diff.
