-
Teams defining a new dashboard or rebuilding one that no longer supports decisions.
-
Metrics work that needs KPI hierarchy, chart specs, filters, and quality checks documented.
-
Analysts and operators planning ownership, monitoring, and publication handoffs. starterPrompt: title: Draft the dashboard spec body: >- Draft a dashboard specification for [workflow, product, or business question].
Use the strategy brief, workflow context, metric definitions, source exports, dashboard examples, and stakeholder feedback I provide. Return:
-
the decisions the dashboard should support
-
KPI hierarchy and metric definitions
-
chart and filter specifications
-
data-quality and QA checks
-
owners and handoffs
-
monitoring plan
-
publication and access risks
Do not invent metrics or claim that a dashboard is production-ready without validating its sources. suggestedEffort: medium relatedLinks:

Design around decisions, not charts
Before specifying a dashboard, define the decisions it should support and the owners who will act on the signals. Give ChatGPT metric definitions, source exports, existing examples, workflow context, and stakeholder feedback so the spec stays grounded in actual data.
- Name the workflow, audience, decisions, and review cadence.
- Attach the metric glossary, source exports, dashboard examples, and stakeholder feedback.
- Ask ChatGPT to identify source gaps, quality checks, and ownership needs.
- Run the starter prompt to draft KPI hierarchy, chart specs, filters, and monitoring.
- Review the publication risks and test the proposed metrics against source data.
Treat the dashboard spec as a contract between analysts, data owners, and users. Define what each chart means, when it should be trusted, and what action it should trigger.
Make monitoring actionable
After the spec is reviewed, ask ChatGPT to turn the highest-value checks into a monitoring checklist with clear escalation boundaries.
