For context, the chart illustrates projections for certain performance aspects, relative to the conditions of a particular circuit. A rating for every aspect is conveyed with a bar that varies in length and is conditionally formatted on a color scale, (i.e. 'short bar = red', 'long bar = green', and 'in-between bar = amber''.
When managers initially see the chart, they likely begin by analyzing the bar that corresponds with 'Overtaking'. In this case, the intended meaning seems pretty straightforward, since one can reasonably infer that 'long green bar' equates to "many overtaking opportunities", and 'short red bar' to "few overtaking opportunities"; however, an issue emerges when this concept is used to analyze the other aspects.
Case in point: If the rating for 'Road Bumpiness' is shown as 'short red bar', then the equivalent interpretation is, "few road bumpiness", or more properly, "smooth track surface"... However, the color of a short bar is red, which is not representative of a "smooth track surface"... So, perhaps the length of the bar is actually a reflection of car performance, relative to the aspect. Under this assumption, a 'short red bar' equates to "Poor performance, due to 'Road Bumpiness'", or more concisely, "bumpy track surface".
The solution could be as simple as making every bar the same color, regardless of length, but that will depend on what they actually represent.
