Motivation
A frequent business question often posted by Sales teams is "Where are our customers currently in terms of contract adherence?" This helps inform next steps and conversations for an account. With Python's matplotlib, we can make custom objects that are tailored to the business's use-case. In this case, we can use a bar to show how close a customer is to their allotted amount of usage for a particular line item in a contract.
SQL Data Input Format
A dataframe with two columns: first column denoting contract value and second column with the current value.
Python Chart Script
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
