Ishikawa diagram (v11.12.3+)

Ishikawa diagrams are used to represent causes of a specific event (or a problem). They are also known as fishbone diagrams, herringbone diagrams or cause-and-effect diagrams. The diagram resembles a fish skeleton, with the main problem at the head and the causes branching off from the spine.

WARNING

This is a new diagram type in Mermaid. Its syntax may evolve in future versions.
