Does a percent sign break the diagram?

No, "Users up 40%" renders as written. Two percent signs in a row start a comment in the code, so do not type them together.

Can I use it in review slides?

Yes. Export PowerPoint for an overview slide, or split by main branch for one slide per branch.

How do I compare this year with last year?

Write both figures in the number nodes, or use a radar chart template with two curves.

When to use it

Before writing a self-review or a performance summary, list the year on a map and then write. The five branches cover what you did, how it turned out, what you learned, what fell short and what comes next.

Make it yours

Give each result a number and put it under Key numbers.
Students can rename the branches to coursework, projects, activities and life.
Export the outline to Word and expand each node into a paragraph.

Draw a year in review mind map with Mermaid mindmap syntax. The root is the year plus "year in review", and the main branches are Results, Key numbers, Growth, What fell short, and Goals for next year, each with two or three specific items; include figures in the numbers. Put every node on its own line, show levels with space indentation, and do not use list markers or arrows. Output only the mermaid code block.
