I’m not sure there’s any value on showing daily values like this, at a glance it’s impossible to tie spikes to dates.

We’re not using a mass spectrometer where the individual spikes identify individual molecules. It’s nice to see and investigate blips, but it doesn’t make trend identification (i.e. growth) easy.
