accDescr: Pie chart showing how engineering team time is distributed across feature work, tech debt, bug fixes, on-call, and learning

## Tips
- Values are proportional — they don't need to sum to 100
- Use descriptive labels with **emoji prefix** for visual distinction
- Limit to **7 slices maximum** — group small ones into "📦 Other"
- Always include a `title` with relevant emoji
- Order slices largest to smallest for readability
