Define the KPI hierarchy

Separate executive metrics from operational drilldowns so the dashboard can serve leaders and teams without becoming cluttered.

Document measure definitions

Every priority metric needs a clear definition, source, refresh pattern, inclusion logic, and owner.

Prototype before production

A prototype helps stakeholders align on layout, signal logic, and workflow before production data and build time are committed.
