Description

I'm trying to determine how useful it would be to add a log scaling option, though not as a default. Seems like it would be helpful in ensuring that the graph isn't quite as clustered or distorted by outliers. The data would need to be adjusted slightly to avoid log(0) issues. I've done this by manually adjusting the highchart and it seems to work fairly well.

Research direction

Locate the Complexity vs Churn graph and its existing Highcharts configuration. Review how graph data handles zero values and determine where an optional, non-default log scale could be applied. Done means the graph supports log scaling without log(0) issues while preserving the existing default behavior.
