Hi PedroBarradas
Here is a few guides for creating sunbrust:

Please note, from a UX and data visualization perspective, the sunburst approach you're considering is not the most effective way to present this type of data. Here’s why:
The brain struggles with circular comparisons – interpreting angles and radial segments is cognitively demanding, especially when repeated across multiple visuals.
Low continuity – each "wheel" stands alone, and by the time a user decodes one, the context of the previous is already forgotten.
No overall picture – it's hard to scan across all metrics and quickly spot which days had multiple issues (e.g., “on day 11, three KPIs were below target”).
Recommended Alternative:
I suggest using a heatmap-style table, as shown in the image I attached. It’s organized by rows (lines or KPIs) and columns (days), with color highlighting to indicate performance.In the ideal setup, only the red (under-target) days are highlighted, to focus user attention on where process improvement is needed.
A secondary (less preferred) option is to color also the successful/neutral days (e.g., green, blue, or gray), though this reduces contrast and increases visual load.
Benefits of the heatmap approach:
Natural left-to-right, top-to-bottom reading flow
Compact overview of all metrics at once
Easier comparison across days and KPIs
Immediate identification of exceptions and patterns
