Speaking as a scientist, you really need to include your methodology, not just your results.

It's an example, not a final product. Methodology was intentionally left out as the particular methodology (still a work in progress) doesn't determine whether a graphical picture like that is useful/interesting to you.

Then my feedback is, it's usefulness depends on how scientific it is. Treated as a scientific paper, it could be very interesting/useful. Without that, it's just random dots and lines.

What exactly do you mean by 'how scientific it is' and 'treated as a scientific paper'?

It's a very big subject, you would need to read up on it if you are not a trained scientist. But the most important thing is clarity about how you derived your results. Note that you don't actually need to justify your results being meaningful or significant, you can leave that up to the readers to discuss.

Then no worries. I assure you that the actual production will contain clarity on how everything is being calculated. I kind of thought that went without saying for something like this. But I'm just as happy to make that explicit.
