As a starting point the funnel displays how many ideas/entities are currently in each state - as a number and as a % from the total number of ideas/entities, when there is a clear visual separation between the states in the main funnel vs. all the states in the external state group.
This display gives an overview understanding and helps identify bottle necks, and it can be filtered, exported to excel and being subscribed to.
The columns on the right side of the funnel are automatically added from the first three numeric fields listed in the subsystem. They display the total numeric value of all ideas/entities in this state.
Since the numeric fields are usually financial, it helps answering questions like "how much potential revenue is currently being waited to be evaluated etc.
The number on the left grid counts how many ideas/entities has been moved/transitioned from each state to the external states, and when hovering it you can to which one of the external states
In the example below 12 ideas moved from "Supervisor Review" to the external states - 1 for "Clarification" and 11 to "Closed"
Note:
The total of the# of ideas/entities on the external states may be greater than to total sum of the numbers on the grids for several reasons as explained in this article.
