Not a useful response, but I have to congratulate you for the best post title I've seen here this year.
The site should have an award for that. I'd nominate yours.
That said, I very much doubt Excel could do this. I figure you'd need to use specialized software for something like this.
Looks more like something you might get out of mind-mapping software, though I haven't seen anything like it.
You might be better off just Googling: nested doughnut chart. There's a lot of interesting threads, just not sure what would be most useful to you.

Perhaps I am just more optimistic than hrlngrv, but I think Excel can do this. That doesn't mean that Excel is the best or even a good choice for this, just that I think it could be possible with enough time, effort, and ingenuity.
What I see is something very similar to this "windrose" project I helped someone with. Basically, it is a filled radar chart with a lot of work to get the various "stacked radar" series to look right: https://www.excelforum.com/excel-cha...wind-rose.html
Another, simpler one: https://www.excelforum.com/excel-cha...ttachment.html
Finally, this example: https://www.excelforum.com/excel-cha...ial-chart.html This one might be particularly interesting in the "extra category bug" that seems to be part of filled radar + radar combination charts. You might need such a combination chart to get the unevenly spaced gridlines that your picture shows.
Basically, I think if we spend enough time and effort understanding how a filled radar chart works, we can build this. Whether it is worth the effort or easier to find a third party charting application that knows how to do this out of the box is a different question.

The text boxes and lines from those to the outermost ring are NBD since they'd need to be done manually.
Tx all, seems to be a sunburst chart (not a nested doughnut). But that still gives a lot of challanges. Perhaps I just need to use Powerpoint to manually create it or something...seems a hell of a lot of work to recreate. However, if I figure out how to create it in the meantime, I will make sure to post it here...
