+quality_score: 91
+review:
+  strengths:
+  - Excellent visual design with clear, distinguishable faces for each species
+  - Comprehensive legends explaining both species colors and feature mappings
+  - Colorblind-safe color palette (blue, yellow, purple)
+  - Proper data normalization as specified
+  - Uses real Iris dataset for meaningful visualization
+  - Good grid layout with balanced spacing and canvas utilization
+  weaknesses:
+  - Uses helper function create_face_svg() instead of flat KISS structure
+  - Not technically using Highcharts library - implements pure SVG instead (understandable
+    since Highcharts lacks native Chernoff face support)
