What does the graph show?
The graph is based on how much of the code is written by currently active developers, and if there are potential key personnel risks.

Green slope:
Above baseline and improving
Orange slope:
Above baseline but declining
Red slope:
Below baseline - the KPI is getting worse compared to the previous period
