Oops. Looks like I forgot to address \"prestation\". If we are talking about a graphic, then it could refer to performance???

2 hrs
disagree  HLB: Not sure you're on the right track. It says "Prestation" not "Presentation". I guess more info on what follows would help understand the heading

  -> prestation might refer to performance, so maybe it is "graphic presenting detailed performance analyses.." that's my only guess as to what the "visu" could be... "presentation was an attempt to translate "visu" not "prestation"

Explanation:
visu here is almost certainly short for "de visu" (for oneself, with one's own eyes--Oxford-Hachette)so I think the author is talking about observed performance, but we need a little more context to be sure?
