Thanks for the feedback. I had to scale down some of the data points to leave room for the text that clarified that some of the revenue items meant, so the bars are not exactly proportional. For instance in the scaled version (based on absolute numbers), merchant fees took up most of the right side of the visual, and processed revenue had limited space.
Hope you understand. I'll play around with better ways to scale to accomodate nuance like this in future.
The aggregate of the right side is the total revenue and the aggregate of the left side is total expenses - so net income is the diff, less taxes and interest expenses. To your point, I should have included the net income in the chart to clarify that. I should probably also have included the totals for both revenue and expenses at the top of the visualization
