So basically putting it in the computer equivalent of crayon worked

Not really. It was actually an Excel chart for the last 13 months
plotting between 4 and 6 variables by a combination of lines and stacked
bars, together with a colour-coded strip of customer satisfaction
ratings. Quite complex, but once you were used to it, it was a much
better way of indicating trends and actual performance than a matrix of
65 or more numbers, especially if there were 300 such charts to review.
