Why it spread

What worked
- The chart explains itself, so viewers grasp the state-level Claude AI usage relative to national share without extra reading.
- The choropleth is an unusual chart type, which helps the post stand out in the feed.
- It is branded and shows a source line, and the source reach sits in the top quarter, adding credibility.
What to borrow
We could map our own data by region with a choropleth that labels itself clearly and carries our brand and source line.
Careful
Do not over-read the quote rate, which sits in the bottom quarter, and do not assume the same form will spread without a self-explanatory design.
