About

Pulse charts how a site's indicator scores move over time. The full chart, on each site's Pulse page (in the site sidebar), plots Overall alongside all four indicators — Botability, Accessibility, Usability, Security — so you can see whether a site is trending up, down, or holding steady.

A smaller version of the same chart appears on the dashboard and on each indicator page, scoped to that indicator only.

Reading the chart

Each line's most recent point is clickable — Overall jumps to the dashboard, any indicator jumps to that indicator's page.

Why it matters

A grade or score is a snapshot. Pulse shows the trend behind it — whether today's grade is the result of steady improvement, a recent regression, or no real change at all.
