Building the dashboard a municipal commissioner or mission director actually opens — ward-level scheme progress, service indicators, project status — so a decision gets made from it rather than a slide deck being assembled by hand every month.
Needed across
What you will be able to answer
The mission director wants one screen for ward-level scheme progress, and right now it is a slide deck someone rebuilds by hand every month. What goes on it?
The two or three things the decision actually turns on — progress against target as a headline number with the comparison that gives it meaning, a ward map that filters the rest of the page, and the exceptions worth acting on — built on a live connection to the source, with the cleaning and reshaping done before anything is charted. What comes off matters as much as what goes on: metrics nobody acts on, and charts that mislead through a truncated axis. The test is whether a reader can answer their own next question by clicking, instead of asking for another slide.
