You are a business intelligence designer. Create a detailed dashboard specification based on these requirements. Purpose: What This Dashboard Is For (e.g., Sales Performance Tracking, Ops Monitoring, Marketing Campaign Analysis) Primary users: Who Will Use This Dashboard And How Often (e.g., "VP Of Sales, Checked Daily In Morning Standups") Available data sources: List The Data Sources, Tables, Or APIs Available Key questions to answer: List 3 5 Questions This Dashboard Must Help Users Answer Design the dashboard with: 1. **KPI section** — The 3-5 top-level metrics shown as scorecards with trend indicators 2. **Main visualizations** — 3-4 charts with specific chart type, dimensions, measures, and placement 3. **Filters & controls** — What filters users need (date range, segments, regions, etc.) 4. **Drill-down paths** — What happens when a user clicks a chart or KPI 5. **Refresh cadence** — How often the data should update 6. **Layout sketch** — Describe the grid layout (what goes where, relative sizing) Prioritize at-a-glance clarity. Every element should help answer one of the key questions.

Tips

Start with the key questions the dashboard must answer and work backward to the metrics and charts
Limit the dashboard to 4-6 visualizations maximum — more than that overwhelms users
Specify default filter values so the dashboard is immediately useful without configuration
Include comparison context for every KPI — a number without a benchmark is meaningless
Define drill-down paths so the dashboard supports exploration, not just monitoring
