Dashboards & Calculators

Overview

This proposed service builds dashboards or calculators around agreed questions, inputs, and rules. Each result should make its data source, assumptions, and update timing understandable.

Who it helps

• Managers who need concise operational views
• Businesses offering planning or comparison tools

What it can do

• Define measures and calculation rules
• Create readable charts, summaries, and input controls
• Add validation and explain important assumptions
• Test calculations against agreed examples

Example in practice

A dealer needs a margin calculator using verified product costs. The tool shows how discounts affect the result and labels omitted charges so staff do not mistake a simplified estimate for a complete profit forecast.
