growth curve
Progress over time
A growth curve is a graph showing how something increases over time, typically with quantity on one axis and time on the other.
In biology, it tracks population expansion or organism development; in business, it charts revenue, users, or market share.
The classic S-shaped growth curve shows slow initial growth, rapid acceleration, then leveling off as limits are reached.
The startup's growth curve went vertical after the product went viral.
