## Definition

A **Sankey chart** is a flow diagram in which arrows or bands connect stages of a process, and the width of each band represents the size of what flows between them.

**Sankey chart** shows up in this channel's captured material as the label for a visual that maps how something moves or splits between stages — the kind of diagram you'd explore to understand *where* effort, attention, or value goes, not just *how much* there is in total.
