From Discovery to Production

In testing out some new graphics software, I thought to put it through some paces.

This chart shows how Dispersive Discovery transforms into production via the application of the Shock Model. Each colored band corresponds to a particular discovery year. I suppose I should have done this particular plot long ago as it demonstrate the salient features of the shock model. The stacked bar chart essentially shows the effects of a multiple stage convolution on a discrete set of yearly discovery inputs.

This curve features a damped exponential maturation phase.
