You are now here: Waterfall and Bubble chart Mermaid augmentation tool





This tool supports the Mermaid syntax, and has been released in beta on 2026-03-18 - it has been visited 286 times since 2026-03-18

These are some examples:



Reason for this creating this tool? Since 2025, saw that AIs increasingly used the Mermaid syntax to render charts- first with some errors, but gradually improving.

Hence, studied the syntax and designed a tool. Eventually, saw that most of the diagrams that I used as concepts in my own consulting activities in the past were not available:
Eventually, all within the last line above became available (albeit in some cases still as beta or even undocumented), but on waterfall and bubble chart read a lot of talk, little walk.

Added also three other charts useful in change management and planning but not yet available within the standard: heatmap, organizational chart, earned value analysis.

This tool includes in the menu also three underused but, in my view, useful charts for change activities that are already within the standard: radar chart, Venn diagram, sankey (decomposition), Ishikawa ("fishbone")- the latter is already within the standard, but still undocumented on the presentation website, only available in the "technical" website.

You can generated multiple variants of the waterfall and bubblechart- see examples in the first pulldown menu option, and also in the other sections.

To generate your own charts, modify the instructions of an existing example, or copy-and-paste your own.

The menu of this tool contains:

Please refer to this article within the Organizational Support section for more information on how developed this tool, its rationale, and evolution.

A quick note: I am currently hosting my tool on this website- if the traffic will become excessive, will shift it elsewhere, and will leave here just the link.

And if you ask: yes, as you will see in that article, actually you can just copy-and-paste your own Mermaid syntax, and will render what is supported by the version I developed it for, 11.13.0.
