1. Add data labels to Key Influencers so we can see which data points are the outliers.
Currently, the only way to know is to filter categories out, or to do a scatter plot of the 2 variables under consideration. Not practical when having many key influencers.
2. Add color and size options for the graphical view of the influencers, similar to the Scatter Plot visual
-OR-
3. Add the ML capability to show clusters in the data, in addition with the awesome decision tree for the top segments.
