Research direction
Start by tracing the REST API path that creates economy snapshots and the consumer for the intra-decile chart. Measure how the nearly 200,000-record net income array is stored and transmitted, then identify a smaller representation that preserves the chart's required data. Done means economy snapshots are materially smaller while the intra-decile chart still works.
