Models on quality against cost, with the best edge. Sample data: five models on quality against cost, with four suggested moves.
Installation
- 1
Set up the registry once
Your token in .env and @chartory in components.json. Skip this when another chart is already installed.
Installation guide - 2
Add the chart
One command adds the Frontier map component to your project.
npx shadcn add @chartory/frontier-map - 3
Use it
Pass your rows. The props are the Figma properties.
usage.tsximport { FrontierMap } from "@/components/chartory/frontier-map"<FrontierMap data={modelFrontier} size="m" legend/>
Props
<FrontierMap>
Every prop but data is a Figma property with the same name and values.
FrontierMapData

FrontierMapPoint
One object per entry in pts.
FrontierMapMove

The data as a JSON Schema: schemas/frontier-map.json
Frontier map: a React and Figma chart in four sizes
What does a frontier map show?
A frontier map places each model by quality and cost, sized by spend, and draws the efficient edge. Suggested moves are listed with their monthly effect. Use it for model choice and cost reviews.
Chartory ships it as a Figma component and a React component with the same name. The code installs from the shadcn registry with one command and lands in your project as a file you own.
What is the Frontier map component?
It is one <FrontierMap> component. Its props are the Figma properties with the same names and values, and the props table above lists them. The data is quality, cost and spend per model.
Sizes XS, S, M and L re-lay the chart out from the data instead of scaling it, so labels stay readable at every size.
When should I use it?
- Is cost one of the measures? Yes means the frontier map fits.
- Is there a best edge? Yes means the frontier map fits.
- Is it models? Yes means the frontier map fits.
When does another type fit better?
- Two plain measures. Use Scatter instead.
- Four action zones. Use Quadrant instead.
- Three trade-offs. Use Ternary instead.
Frontier map questions
Installing, data, Figma and plans.
Yes. It installs through the shadcn registry with the shadcn CLI, and the file lands in your project.
Add your token and the @chartory registry once, then run npx shadcn add @chartory/frontier-map. The Installation guide has the steps.
Yes. Connect the Chartory MCP server and ask for the frontier map chart; the agent runs the same command and you review the diff.
Quality, cost and spend per model. The sample data comes with the component, and the props table lists every field.
XS, S, M and L, in Figma and in code. Each size is laid out again from the data, so text and lines keep their size.
Yes. chart/109-frontier-map has the same properties as the component.
Yes. Every paint is a token, so the chart follows light and dark mode and the collection you pick.
Code and Complete. Figma has the Figma file only.
