50 charts and tables is a lot to consume on a webpage no matter how you slice it.
The original magazine presentation - 6 full page spreads with 8 or 9 charts each - is way more readable. The higher information density of paper lets you glance at 9 companies at once and spend more time with what looks interesting. We tried to preserve some of the serendipity online with the short preview sentences on the left column, but the linear scroll through the charts takes away from that and makes it feel a little too chore like.
Sometimes translating to digital invites amazing improvements through interactivity (see what is code), but here we had a tight deadline and too many charts to redo them all in an interesting way w/ d3 so the digital focus was much more on the design side.
