Dashboard results

23 views of the dbt v2 issue dashboard bakeoff, captured 14 October 2026. Each was scored from its saved screenshot, page text, and console metadata by one OpenAI judge sample. Scores describe that capture, not the current deployed page.

Score status uses the current dashboard data load as a change signal. “Needs review” means new data arrived after the capture; it does not mean the score is wrong. “Freshness unverified” means the captured build fingerprint was not recorded.

How the score works

60 starting points + excellence − defects = score

A “yes” on a defect subtracts its stated points. Excellence checks are scaled into a bonus of up to 40. The result is capped at 0–100; a failed delivery or whole-page gate sets it to 0.

Why YAML shows +10 for delivery

DEL-01 is a pass/fail gate. Its raw +10 is excluded from the final formula. The table below shows the actual scaled bonus.

Read the rankings carefully

Scores a few points apart are close. Shaper is a preview page; MetricFlow uses a different brief. Neither is directly comparable with the rendered issue-health views.

LBL-05Is there a chart or table with no title or label saying what it shows?Clear0All visible charts and tables for descriptive titles or labels.
LBL-07Is there a percentage a reader could reasonably read against two different bases, with nothing saying which?Clear0Visible percentages and rate definitions, including the 48-hour response KPI/chart and epic completion table.

LAY-01Is there a large empty region the content does not need — a hole beside a tall chart, a half-empty row, a band of blank page?Clear0Page-level spacing between cards, chart rows, tables, and sections.
LAY-02Are cards visibly misaligned — edges that nearly line up but miss, ragged bottoms within one row, uneven gaps between cards?Clear0Alignment of card edges, chart rows, tables, and section layouts.

LAY-05Do borders, fills, colored headers, shadows, icons, or decoration carry more visual weight than the data?Clear0Use of borders, fills, headers, shadows, icons, and other decoration relative to the data.
LAY-06Is color used in a way that encodes nothing or misleads — bars of a single series cycling through a palette, a rainbow color scale for a quantity, colored or sized marks with no legend saying what color or size means?Clear0Color encodings in time-series, stacked bars, categorical charts, and completion cells.
LAY-07Is there leftover scaffolding the author left in — placeholder or starter content, debug text, "lorem ipsum", stray test elements?Clear0Visible titles, labels, tables, footer, and surrounding page content for placeholder or debug scaffolding.
EXC-01Does the page state its main finding in words — a title or sentence that says what happened ("Churn doubled in March"), not just what is shown ("Churn by month") — and do the charts bear it out?Not met0Page title, section headings, headline metrics, and charts for a written statement of the dashboard’s main takeaway.
EXC-04Is a key point marked on a chart where it happens — an annotated spike or dip, a target line, a highlighted series or bar with the rest muted?Not met0Charts for annotations, target/reference lines, or a specifically highlighted point/bar/series marking a key event.

LBL-01Is there a number on the page whose unit (currency, percent, count, duration) cannot be found anywhere near it — not in the value, its axis, its title, subtitle, or column?Clear0Reviewed headline KPIs, chart axes, legends, and table columns. Counts are identified by their labels; durations use “days”/“d”; and the rate is marked with “%” and described as answered within 48 hours.
LBL-02Does any title, axis title, legend, or column header show a raw field name, code, or placeholder ("sum_amount", "fct_orders.region", "Untitled", "Chart 1")?Clear0Reviewed visible titles, legends, axes, and table headers for raw field names, codes, or placeholders. Truncated headers such as “REACTION...” and status values such as “awaiting_tria...” appear to be display labels/data values, not raw field names.
LBL-03Does the page fail to say what it covers, or is there no period (dates, month, year, "last 30 days") anywhere on it?Clear0Checked page scope and date coverage.
LBL-04Is there a headline number whose period cannot be found — not on its tile and not stated for the page?Clear0Reviewed the headline KPI tiles. The page supplies “DATA AS OF 2026-10-14”; period-specific KPIs also state “(28D)” or “in 28 days.”
LBL-05Is there a chart or table with no title or label saying what it shows?Clear0Reviewed all visible charts and tables. Each has a descriptive title or section label, including “OPEN ISSUES OVER TIME,” “TRIAGE QUEUE — OLDEST FIRST,” “OPEN ISSUES BY AREA,” and “MOST-REQUESTED OPEN ISSUES.”
LBL-07Is there a percentage a reader could reasonably read against two different bases, with nothing saying which?Clear0Reviewed displayed rates/shares. The visible 11% metric is labeled “ANSWERED WITHIN 48H (28D),” and its corresponding chart states “NEW ISSUES ANSWERED WITHIN 48 HOURS” and “By week opened; unanswered issues count as misses.”
LBL-08Does a label contradict what is plotted — a unit that does not fit the measure ($ ticks on a count), an axis or title naming a measure the chart does not show, or a stated finding the chart itself contradicts?Clear0Compared chart/table labels with their plotted measures and visible values. Counts, ages, issue types, status categories, and epic completion values appear consistent with their labels.
LBL-09Do numbers or statements on the page contradict each other — a headline that disagrees with the table or chart it summarizes, parts that cannot add up to their total, two different as-of dates, or a note that points at content that is not there ("shown at right", "see tooltip" on a static page)?Clear0Cross-checked visible headline numbers and related content. “511 (+52 in 28 days)” agrees with “123 / 71” opened/closed over 28 days, since 123 minus 71 equals 52; only one page as-of date is shown.
LAY-01Is there a large empty region the content does not need — a hole beside a tall chart, a half-empty row, a band of blank page?Clear0Space between and around cards across the visible page, excluding chart plot headroom and the blank page after the final card.
LAY-02Are cards visibly misaligned — edges that nearly line up but miss, ragged bottoms within one row, uneven gaps between cards?Clear0Alignment of card edges, row gaps, and card bottoms in the KPI, chart, and table sections.
LAY-05Do borders, fills, colored headers, shadows, icons, or decoration carry more visual weight than the data?Clear0Visual weight of card borders, fills, headers, icons, and other decoration compared with the displayed data.
LAY-06Is color used in a way that encodes nothing or misleads — bars of a single series cycling through a palette, a rainbow color scale for a quantity, colored or sized marks with no legend saying what color or size means?Clear0Whether chart colors have a stated, consistent categorical or quantitative meaning.
LAY-07Is there leftover scaffolding the author left in — placeholder or starter content, debug text, "lorem ipsum", stray test elements?Clear0Visible dashboard text and elements for placeholder, debug, starter, or stray test content.
EXC-01Does the page state its main finding in words — a title or sentence that says what happened ("Churn doubled in March"), not just what is shown ("Churn by month") — and do the charts bear it out?Not met0Page title, introductory text, KPI area, and chart headings for a written outcome statement supported by a chart.
EXC-04Is a key point marked on a chart where it happens — an annotated spike or dip, a target line, a highlighted series or bar with the rest muted?Not met0Charts for annotations, highlighted individual values, target/reference lines, or a visually emphasized series/bar against muted context.
EXC-06Is most of the data drawn in a neutral gray, with one accent color reserved for the subject — the series, bar, or period the page is about?Not met0Chart color treatment for predominantly neutral-gray data with one reserved accent for the focal subject or period.
EXC-07Are a chart's series or pie slices labeled directly (at line ends, on the slices) instead of through a legend the reader has to look back at?Not met0Multi-series charts for series names placed directly on line ends, bars, or slices rather than requiring a legend.

BRF-02Do elements the brief did not ask for take up more of the page than the elements it did ask for?Clear0Compared the visible page space used by requested dashboard content with content not requested in the brief.
WRK-01Is the page a crash or error screen, or a shell where most panels show no data (error messages, spinners, blank cards, "failed to load"), instead of a working dashboard?PassedGateChecked the page overall for crash/error states, loading states, and predominantly empty dashboard panels.
WRK-02Is any chart or table panel blank, an error message, a loading spinner, or a placeholder where data should be?Clear0Checked each visible KPI card, chart, and table for blank, failed-to-load, spinner, error, or placeholder content.
HON-01Does a bar or area chart whose bar length shows an amount have a value axis that starts above zero, so small differences look large?Clear0Checked the visible value axes on the stacked area chart, weekly grouped bar chart, triage-status stacked bars, area/adaptor/assignee bars, and epic progress displays for a nonzero baseline.
HON-02Does a chart or number promise a rate or share in its title or label ("rate", "share", "%") while its values are plainly counts or amounts?Clear0Checked percentage and rate wording against plotted values, including “New issues answered within 48 hours” and “Open epics by % of sub-issues closed.”
HON-03Does the same category appear in different colors in different charts?Clear0Compared repeated color-coded issue types across charts: Feature, Bug, Task, and Other are consistently shown in blue, orange, green, and gray respectively.
HON-04Does a chart put two measures on two independent value axes with nothing telling the reader which series reads against which axis?N/A0Checked visible charts for dual independent value axes and unlabeled series-to-axis mappings.
HON-05Are side-by-side charts or small multiples of the same measure drawn on different scales with nothing saying so, so equal heights mean different amounts?N/A0Checked for side-by-side or small-multiple peer charts of the same measure using different unlabeled scales.
HON-06Does a line connect categories that have no order (products, regions, channels), implying a trend between them?Clear0Checked the visible line chart for whether its connected categories are unordered; its x-axis is weekly dates, an ordered time sequence.
FRM-01Does any chart use a form that hides its main comparison — a pie or donut whose slices are too many or too similar to compare, a 3D chart, a trend shown as a table or pie, or a ranking shown as a line?Clear0Reviewed the forms used for trend, ranking, composition, and summary comparisons across the dashboard.
FRM-02Do two or more charts on the page hide their main comparison through their form?Clear0Checked whether two or more charts use a form that hides their main comparison.

LEG-05Are charts squeezed into cards too small for them, so their bars, lines, or cells cannot be told apart at the size drawn?Clear0Reviewed whether plotted marks can be distinguished at their rendered sizes in the open-issues-over-time, weekly opened-versus-closed, response-rate, triage-age, area, adapter, and assignee charts.
LBL-01Is there a number on the page whose unit (currency, percent, count, duration) cannot be found anywhere near it — not in the value, its axis, its title, subtitle, or column?Clear0Headline tiles, chart axes, table columns, and percentage/duration labels.
LBL-02Does any title, axis title, legend, or column header show a raw field name, code, or placeholder ("sum_amount", "fct_orders.region", "Untitled", "Chart 1")?Clear0Chart titles, subtitles, axes, legends, and table headers for raw field names, codes, or placeholders.
LBL-03Does the page fail to say what it covers, or is there no period (dates, month, year, "last 30 days") anywhere on it?Clear0Page title/subtitle and page-level date context.
LBL-04Is there a headline number whose period cannot be found — not on its tile and not stated for the page?Clear0Headline tiles and page-level as-of date (“Data as of 2026-10-14”).
LBL-05Is there a chart or table with no title or label saying what it shows?Clear0All visible charts and tables, including backlog, triage, work-area, epic, requested-issue, and assignee sections.
LBL-07Is there a percentage a reader could reasonably read against two different bases, with nothing saying which?Clear0Visible percentages: “Answered within 48h” and “Open epics by % of sub-issues closed.”
LBL-08Does a label contradict what is plotted — a unit that does not fit the measure ($ ticks on a count), an axis or title naming a measure the chart does not show, or a stated finding the chart itself contradicts?Clear0Chart titles, legends, axes, and plotted measures, including opened-versus-closed, triage age, and response-rate charts.
LBL-09Do numbers or statements on the page contradict each other — a headline that disagrees with the table or chart it summarizes, parts that cannot add up to their total, two different as-of dates, or a note that points at content that is not there ("shown at right", "see tooltip" on a static page)?Clear0Headline totals, triage chart, area/adapter notes, date labels, and supporting tables for conflicting totals, dates, or statements.
LAY-01Is there a large empty region the content does not need — a hole beside a tall chart, a half-empty row, a band of blank page?Clear0Checked for unnecessary blank bands, half-empty content rows, and holes beside content; excluded the right-side navigation and normal chart plot headroom.
LAY-02Are cards visibly misaligned — edges that nearly line up but miss, ragged bottoms within one row, uneven gaps between cards?Clear0Checked alignment of the summary metric cards, chart sections, tables, and stacked bar-chart rows.
LAY-04Does detail outrank the summary — a raw table, a filter bar, or a minor chart placed above the page's main numbers or charts, or given far more space than them?Clear0Checked whether detailed tables, filters, or minor charts appear before or visually dominate the headline summary and primary charts.
LAY-05Do borders, fills, colored headers, shadows, icons, or decoration carry more visual weight than the data?Clear0Checked whether borders, card fills, shadows, icons, or decorative treatment outweigh the displayed metrics and charts.
LAY-06Is color used in a way that encodes nothing or misleads — bars of a single series cycling through a palette, a rainbow color scale for a quantity, colored or sized marks with no legend saying what color or size means?Clear0Checked chart color usage and legends across issue type, age, and status visualizations.
LAY-07Is there leftover scaffolding the author left in — placeholder or starter content, debug text, "lorem ipsum", stray test elements?Clear0Checked visible content for placeholder copy, debug output, test elements, or unfinished scaffolding.
EXC-04Is a key point marked on a chart where it happens — an annotated spike or dip, a target line, a highlighted series or bar with the rest muted?Not met0All visible charts for annotations, targets, or selectively highlighted marks
EXC-06Is most of the data drawn in a neutral gray, with one accent color reserved for the subject — the series, bar, or period the page is about?Not met0Chart color treatment across the dashboard
EXC-07Are a chart's series or pie slices labeled directly (at line ends, on the slices) instead of through a legend the reader has to look back at?Not met0Multi-series charts for direct series labels

LBL-07Is there a percentage a reader could reasonably read against two different bases, with nothing saying which?Clear0Checked visible percentages and rates for an indicated basis, including the 48-hour response chart and epic completion percentages.
LBL-08Does a label contradict what is plotted — a unit that does not fit the measure ($ ticks on a count), an axis or title naming a measure the chart does not show, or a stated finding the chart itself contradicts?Clear0Checked chart and table labels against the plotted measures, scales, and visible values.
LBL-09Do numbers or statements on the page contradict each other — a headline that disagrees with the table or chart it summarizes, parts that cannot add up to their total, two different as-of dates, or a note that points at content that is not there ("shown at right", "see tooltip" on a static page)?Clear0Checked headline metrics, charts, tables, and the page date for visible internal contradictions.
LAY-01Is there a large empty region the content does not need — a hole beside a tall chart, a half-empty row, a band of blank page?Clear0Spacing between page cards and sections, including chart/table rows.
LAY-02Are cards visibly misaligned — edges that nearly line up but miss, ragged bottoms within one row, uneven gaps between cards?Clear0Card edges, row alignment, card heights, and inter-card gaps across the dashboard.
LAY-04Does detail outrank the summary — a raw table, a filter bar, or a minor chart placed above the page's main numbers or charts, or given far more space than them?Clear0Visual hierarchy of headline KPI cards, charts, and detailed tables.
LAY-05Do borders, fills, colored headers, shadows, icons, or decoration carry more visual weight than the data?Clear0Relative visual weight of card borders, fills, labels, and data marks.
LAY-06Is color used in a way that encodes nothing or misleads — bars of a single series cycling through a palette, a rainbow color scale for a quantity, colored or sized marks with no legend saying what color or size means?Clear0Color usage in stacked bars, category legends, line charts, and status/category indicators.
LAY-07Is there leftover scaffolding the author left in — placeholder or starter content, debug text, "lorem ipsum", stray test elements?Clear0Visible titles, tables, charts, and page text for placeholders, debug output, or stray starter elements.
EXC-01Does the page state its main finding in words — a title or sentence that says what happened ("Churn doubled in March"), not just what is shown ("Churn by month") — and do the charts bear it out?Not met0Page title, section headings, KPI cards, and charts for a written takeaway that states what happened and a supporting chart value.
EXC-04Is a key point marked on a chart where it happens — an annotated spike or dip, a target line, a highlighted series or bar with the rest muted?Not met0Charts for annotated spikes/dips, target/reference lines, or a deliberately highlighted focal series/bar.

BRF-01Is there a question in the brief that no element on the page answers?Clear0Checked all six brief questions against visible elements: “Where do things stand?” KPI cards; “Is the backlog shrinking?” open-issues-over-time and opened-vs-closed charts; “Are we keeping up with triage?” triage-age chart, 48-hour-response chart, and oldest-first queue; “Where is the work?” area and adapter charts; “How close are the epics?” epic-completion table; and “What should we work on, and who is on it?” most-requested table and assignee chart. An as-of date is also shown.
BRF-02Do elements the brief did not ask for take up more of the page than the elements it did ask for?Clear0Compared the page space used by brief-requested KPI cards, charts, and tables with non-requested elements. The visible non-requested content is limited to navigation, page heading/context, legends, and footer/pagination controls; it does not occupy more space than the requested dashboard content.
WRK-01Is the page a crash or error screen, or a shell where most panels show no data (error messages, spinners, blank cards, "failed to load"), instead of a working dashboard?PassedGateReviewed the full dashboard for page-level errors, loading states, empty shells, and panels without data.

HON-02Does a chart or number promise a rate or share in its title or label ("rate", "share", "%") while its values are plainly counts or amounts?Clear0Checked percentage/rate labels against their displayed values and axes, including “Answered within 48h (28d),” “New issues answered within 48 hours,” and epic completion percentages.
HON-03Does the same category appear in different colors in different charts?Clear0Compared repeated color-coded issue-type categories across charts, including Feature, Bug, Task, and Other.
HON-04Does a chart put two measures on two independent value axes with nothing telling the reader which series reads against which axis?N/A0Checked charts for independent dual value axes and unlabeled series-to-axis assignments.
HON-05Are side-by-side charts or small multiples of the same measure drawn on different scales with nothing saying so, so equal heights mean different amounts?Clear0Compared side-by-side charts that display open-issue counts, including “Open issues by area” and “Open issues by adapter”; their numeric axes visibly show their scales.
HON-06Does a line connect categories that have no order (products, regions, channels), implying a trend between them?Clear0Checked the line chart for connections across unordered categories; “New issues answered within 48 hours” is plotted over weekly time.
FRM-01Does any chart use a form that hides its main comparison — a pie or donut whose slices are too many or too similar to compare, a 3D chart, a trend shown as a table or pie, or a ranking shown as a line?Clear0Reviewed all chart forms for pies/donuts, 3D displays, trends rendered as tables or pies, and rankings rendered as lines.
FRM-02Do two or more charts on the page hide their main comparison through their form?Clear0Reviewed the page for two or more charts whose form hides the comparison they are meant to show.
FRM-03In any chart with several series or categories, can some not be told apart — similar colors with no labels, or more series than distinct colors?Clear0Checked multi-series/category charts including issue type stacks, triage-age stacks, opened-versus-closed bars, area/adapter stacks, and assignee stacks for unmatched or indistinguishable series.
FRM-04Are the categories of a ranked comparison in an arbitrary or alphabetical order when the point is which is largest?Clear0Checked ranked categorical comparisons: open issues by area, adapter, assignee, epic completion, oldest triage queue, and most-requested issues.
FRM-05Is a single number drawn as a chart (a gauge, a one-bar chart) where the number alone would do?Clear0Checked whether a single metric is presented as a gauge or one-bar chart rather than as a number.
FRM-07Do two charts show the same data in the same form, so one adds nothing?Clear0Compared charts for duplicate displays of the same data in the same form.
FRM-06Does a time series start or end with a sudden drop or spike that comes from an incomplete period (a week or month still in progress, a partial first period), with nothing on the page saying the period is partial?Clear0Checked the first and last observations of the visible time series: "Open issues over time," "Opened vs closed per week," and "New issues answered within 48 hours." The weekly bars are explicitly described as "Complete weeks."
LEG-01Does any text overlap other text or cover the mark it labels (tick labels running together, data labels on top of each other, a title over a chart)?Clear0Checked chart titles, legends, axis tick labels, table labels, and plotted marks across the full-resolution tiles.
LEG-02Do three or more charts on the page have overlapping text?Clear0Checked all visible charts for text overlap.
LEG-04Is any text too small or too faint to read at the page's normal size — tiny tick labels, pale gray titles or values?Clear0Checked text at full-resolution, including chart ticks, legends, card subtitles, and table values.
LEG-05Are charts squeezed into cards too small for them, so their bars, lines, or cells cannot be told apart at the size drawn?Clear0Checked whether plotted bars, lines, and table cells are distinguishable at their displayed card sizes.
LBL-01Is there a number on the page whose unit (currency, percent, count, duration) cannot be found anywhere near it — not in the value, its axis, its title, subtitle, or column?Clear0Checked KPI values, chart axes, and table columns. Percentages are marked with %, durations use days/hours or “(d),” and count axes/titles say “Open issues” or “Issues.”
LBL-02Does any title, axis title, legend, or column header show a raw field name, code, or placeholder ("sum_amount", "fct_orders.region", "Untitled", "Chart 1")?Clear0Checked titles, subtitles, axes, legends, and table headers for raw field names, code, or placeholders. Triage values such as “awaiting_triage” appear as data-category values rather than labels.
LBL-03Does the page fail to say what it covers, or is there no period (dates, month, year, "last 30 days") anywhere on it?Clear0Checked the page heading and metadata.
LBL-04Is there a headline number whose period cannot be found — not on its tile and not stated for the page?Clear0Checked all headline KPI cards. Period-specific metrics state “(28d),” while snapshot metrics are covered by the page metadata “Data as of 2026-10-14.”
LBL-05Is there a chart or table with no title or label saying what it shows?Clear0Checked every visible chart and table. Each has a descriptive title, including “Open issues over time,” “Triage queue — oldest first,” and “Open issues by assignee.”
LBL-07Is there a percentage a reader could reasonably read against two different bases, with nothing saying which?Clear0Checked the visible percentages. “Answered within 48h (28d)” identifies the response-time condition and period; the response chart further says it is by week opened and that unanswered issues count as misses. Epic percentages are headed “% complete” alongside closed and sub-issue counts.
LBL-08Does a label contradict what is plotted — a unit that does not fit the measure ($ ticks on a count), an axis or title naming a measure the chart does not show, or a stated finding the chart itself contradicts?Clear0Checked chart titles and axes against their plotted measures: issue-count charts use “Open issues”/“Issues,” the response chart uses “% answered within 48h,” and epic progress is labeled “% complete.”
LBL-09Do numbers or statements on the page contradict each other — a headline that disagrees with the table or chart it summarizes, parts that cannot add up to their total, two different as-of dates, or a note that points at content that is not there ("shown at right", "see tooltip" on a static page)?Clear0Compared headline values, chart endpoints, tables, and page dates. The page consistently states “Data as of 2026-10-14”; no visible totals, statements, or labels conflict.
LAY-01Is there a large empty region the content does not need — a hole beside a tall chart, a half-empty row, a band of blank page?Clear0Checked the space between and around dashboard cards and rows, excluding the sidebar, chart-internal plot space, and blank space below the final card.
LAY-02Are cards visibly misaligned — edges that nearly line up but miss, ragged bottoms within one row, uneven gaps between cards?Clear0Checked alignment of the KPI-card grid, paired chart rows, full-width tables, and the assignee chart card.
LAY-04Does detail outrank the summary — a raw table, a filter bar, or a minor chart placed above the page's main numbers or charts, or given far more space than them?Clear0Checked whether tables, filters, or minor visuals appear before or receive substantially more space than the top-level KPI summary and primary trend charts.
LAY-05Do borders, fills, colored headers, shadows, icons, or decoration carry more visual weight than the data?Clear0Checked the visual prominence of card borders, fills, shadows, headers, icons, and other decoration relative to the data.
LAY-06Is color used in a way that encodes nothing or misleads — bars of a single series cycling through a palette, a rainbow color scale for a quantity, colored or sized marks with no legend saying what color or size means?Clear0Checked chart color usage, legends, and consistency of the issue-type colors across charts.
LAY-07Is there leftover scaffolding the author left in — placeholder or starter content, debug text, "lorem ipsum", stray test elements?Clear0Checked visible page content for placeholder copy, debug output, test elements, or unfinished starter scaffolding.
EXC-01Does the page state its main finding in words — a title or sentence that says what happened ("Churn doubled in March"), not just what is shown ("Churn by month") — and do the charts bear it out?Not met0Checked the page title, section headings, and supporting charts for a written conclusion about a change or outcome.
EXC-04Is a key point marked on a chart where it happens — an annotated spike or dip, a target line, a highlighted series or bar with the rest muted?Not met0Checked charts for annotations, target/reference lines, or a singled-out highlighted bar/series marking a key event.
EXC-06Is most of the data drawn in a neutral gray, with one accent color reserved for the subject — the series, bar, or period the page is about?Not met0Checked whether the visual treatment uses predominantly neutral gray data with one accent reserved for the focal subject.
EXC-07Are a chart's series or pie slices labeled directly (at line ends, on the slices) instead of through a legend the reader has to look back at?Not met0Checked multi-series charts for direct labels on lines, bars, or slices rather than reliance on a legend.

LBL-01Is there a number on the page whose unit (currency, percent, count, duration) cannot be found anywhere near it — not in the value, its axis, its title, subtitle, or column?Clear0Checked all headline metrics, chart axes, legends, subtitles, and table columns for units. Counts are identified by labels such as “Open issues” or “Issues”; durations use “days,” “hours,” or “Age days”; and rates are marked with “%.”
LBL-02Does any title, axis title, legend, or column header show a raw field name, code, or placeholder ("sum_amount", "fct_orders.region", "Untitled", "Chart 1")?Clear0Checked page titles, chart titles, axes, legends, and table headers for raw field names, code-like names, or placeholders.
LBL-03Does the page fail to say what it covers, or is there no period (dates, month, year, "last 30 days") anywhere on it?Clear0Checked the page header and subtitles for scope and time coverage.
LBL-04Is there a headline number whose period cannot be found — not on its tile and not stated for the page?Clear0Checked headline tiles for periods or page-level temporal context. The page states “Data as of 2026-10-14,” while period-specific metrics are labeled “(28d)” or “+52 in 28 days.”

WRK-02Is any chart or table panel blank, an error message, a loading spinner, or a placeholder where data should be?Clear0Reviewed each visible chart and table panel, including backlog, triage, area, adapter, epic, requested-issue, and assignee panels.
HON-01Does a bar or area chart whose bar length shows an amount have a value axis that starts above zero, so small differences look large?Clear0Checked the visible bar and area charts: open issues over time, opened vs closed per week, triage status and age, issues by area, issues by adapter, and issues by assignee.
HON-02Does a chart or number promise a rate or share in its title or label ("rate", "share", "%") while its values are plainly counts or amounts?Clear0Compared chart titles and metric labels that use percentages or response-time wording with their displayed values and axes.
HON-03Does the same category appear in different colors in different charts?Clear0Compared repeated color-coded issue-type categories across charts.
HON-04Does a chart put two measures on two independent value axes with nothing telling the reader which series reads against which axis?N/A0Checked visible charts for dual independent value axes and series-to-axis ambiguity.
HON-05Are side-by-side charts or small multiples of the same measure drawn on different scales with nothing saying so, so equal heights mean different amounts?Clear0Checked side-by-side charts for the same measure displayed on differing, undisclosed scales.
HON-06Does a line connect categories that have no order (products, regions, channels), implying a trend between them?Clear0Checked line charts for connections across unordered categories. The visible line chart is weekly time-series data.
FRM-01Does any chart use a form that hides its main comparison — a pie or donut whose slices are too many or too similar to compare, a 3D chart, a trend shown as a table or pie, or a ranking shown as a line?Clear0Checked all charts for pie/donut, 3D, trend-as-table/pie, and ranking-as-line forms.
FRM-02Do two or more charts on the page hide their main comparison through their form?Clear0Checked whether two or more charts use forms that hide their main comparison.
FRM-03In any chart with several series or categories, can some not be told apart — similar colors with no labels, or more series than distinct colors?Clear0Checked multi-series charts including open issues over time, opened vs closed per week, triage status and age, area, adapter, and assignee charts for distinguishable colors and legend mappings.
FRM-04Are the categories of a ranked comparison in an arbitrary or alphabetical order when the point is which is largest?Clear0Checked ranked category charts for arbitrary or alphabetical ordering, including open issues by area, adapter, assignee, triage queue, requested issues, and epics.
FRM-05Is a single number drawn as a chart (a gauge, a one-bar chart) where the number alone would do?Clear0Checked whether a single metric is rendered as a gauge or one-bar chart rather than shown directly.
FRM-07Do two charts show the same data in the same form, so one adds nothing?Clear0Checked charts and tables for duplicated data presented in the same form.
FRM-06Does a time series start or end with a sudden drop or spike that comes from an incomplete period (a week or month still in progress, a partial first period), with nothing on the page saying the period is partial?Clear0Checked the starts and ends of the time series, the as-of date (2026-10-14), and visible notes about weekly completeness.
LEG-01Does any text overlap other text or cover the mark it labels (tick labels running together, data labels on top of each other, a title over a chart)?Clear0Reviewed chart titles, axis ticks, legends, bar labels, and table text in the full-resolution tiles for text collisions.
LEG-02Do three or more charts on the page have overlapping text?Clear0Checked all charts for overlapping text; looked for three or more charts with label or title collisions.
LEG-04Is any text too small or too faint to read at the page's normal size — tiny tick labels, pale gray titles or values?Clear0Used the full-resolution tiles to inspect small axis labels, legends, supporting text, and table text for unreadably tiny or faint text.
LEG-05Are charts squeezed into cards too small for them, so their bars, lines, or cells cannot be told apart at the size drawn?Clear0Reviewed the plotted bars, lines, stacked segments, and epic-progress cells at their drawn card sizes.
LBL-01Is there a number on the page whose unit (currency, percent, count, duration) cannot be found anywhere near it — not in the value, its axis, its title, subtitle, or column?Clear0Checked headline tiles, chart axes, subtitles, and table columns. Percentages are labeled as percentages, durations use days/hours, and counts are identified by their titles or context.
LBL-02Does any title, axis title, legend, or column header show a raw field name, code, or placeholder ("sum_amount", "fct_orders.region", "Untitled", "Chart 1")?Clear0Checked titles, axes, legends, headers, and visible labels for raw field names, codes, or placeholders. Status values such as “awaiting_triage” appear as data categories rather than as chart titles or field headers.
LBL-03Does the page fail to say what it covers, or is there no period (dates, month, year, "last 30 days") anywhere on it?Clear0Checked page header for coverage and date context.
LBL-04Is there a headline number whose period cannot be found — not on its tile and not stated for the page?Clear0Checked the six headline tiles against their tile labels and the page-level as-of date. Period-specific measures state “(28d)” or “in 28 days”; current measures are contextualized by “Data as of 2026-10-14.”
LBL-05Is there a chart or table with no title or label saying what it shows?Clear0Checked all visible charts and tables. Each has a descriptive title, including “Open issues over time,” “Opened vs closed per week,” “Triage queue — oldest first,” and “Open issues by assignee.”
LBL-08Does a label contradict what is plotted — a unit that does not fit the measure ($ ticks on a count), an axis or title naming a measure the chart does not show, or a stated finding the chart itself contradicts?Clear0Checked chart titles, legends, axes, and plotted marks for measure/unit mismatches. The visible plots are consistent with their labels: issue counts, issue types, age buckets, and completion values align with the displayed measures.
LBL-09Do numbers or statements on the page contradict each other — a headline that disagrees with the table or chart it summarizes, parts that cannot add up to their total, two different as-of dates, or a note that points at content that is not there ("shown at right", "see tooltip" on a static page)?Clear0Cross-checked headline values, dated context, chart/table labels, and visible totals. The page consistently states “Data as of 2026-10-14”; no conflicting totals, dates, or unsupported directional statements are visible.
LAY-01Is there a large empty region the content does not need — a hole beside a tall chart, a half-empty row, a band of blank page?Clear0Space between and around dashboard cards, excluding chart plot headroom and the page area after the final card.
LAY-02Are cards visibly misaligned — edges that nearly line up but miss, ragged bottoms within one row, uneven gaps between cards?Clear0Alignment of card edges, row bottoms, and gaps across the summary cards, paired charts, tables, and full-width assignee chart.
LAY-04Does detail outrank the summary — a raw table, a filter bar, or a minor chart placed above the page's main numbers or charts, or given far more space than them?Clear0Whether tables, filters, or minor charts appear above or outweigh the headline metrics and main trend charts.
LAY-05Do borders, fills, colored headers, shadows, icons, or decoration carry more visual weight than the data?Clear0Visual weight of card borders, fills, decorative elements, and chart styling relative to the data.
LAY-06Is color used in a way that encodes nothing or misleads — bars of a single series cycling through a palette, a rainbow color scale for a quantity, colored or sized marks with no legend saying what color or size means?Clear0Whether chart colors have explained, consistent meanings across issue types and comparison series.
LAY-07Is there leftover scaffolding the author left in — placeholder or starter content, debug text, "lorem ipsum", stray test elements?Clear0Visible dashboard text and elements for placeholders, debug output, starter content, or stray test elements.
EXC-01Does the page state its main finding in words — a title or sentence that says what happened ("Churn doubled in March"), not just what is shown ("Churn by month") — and do the charts bear it out?Not met0Page title, section headings, and chart annotations for a written finding supported by a chart.
EXC-04Is a key point marked on a chart where it happens — an annotated spike or dip, a target line, a highlighted series or bar with the rest muted?Not met0Charts for annotated spikes/dips, target lines, or a deliberately highlighted mark/series.
EXC-06Is most of the data drawn in a neutral gray, with one accent color reserved for the subject — the series, bar, or period the page is about?Not met0Use of neutral-gray data marks with a single accent reserved for the dashboard subject.
EXC-07Are a chart's series or pie slices labeled directly (at line ends, on the slices) instead of through a legend the reader has to look back at?Not met0Multi-series charts for labels placed directly on series or slices rather than relying on legends.

Percent is shown as “11%”; duration metrics say “MEDIAN DAYS TO CLOSE (28D),” “median age 141 days,” and table headers use “Age (d)” / “Idle (d).”
LBL-02Does any title, axis title, legend, or column header show a raw field name, code, or placeholder ("sum_amount", "fct_orders.region", "Untitled", "Chart 1")?Clear0Checked chart titles, legends, axes, and table headers.

WRK-01Is the page a crash or error screen, or a shell where most panels show no data (error messages, spinners, blank cards, "failed to load"), instead of a working dashboard?PassedGateReviewed the full dashboard for page-level failure states, empty shells, error text, and widespread loading indicators.
WRK-02Is any chart or table panel blank, an error message, a loading spinner, or a placeholder where data should be?Clear0Reviewed all visible KPI cards, charts, and tables for blank, failed, loading, or placeholder panels.
HON-01Does a bar or area chart whose bar length shows an amount have a value axis that starts above zero, so small differences look large?Clear0Checked value-axis baselines on the stacked area chart and horizontal/vertical bar charts, including “Open issues over time,” “Opened vs closed per week,” “Open issues by area,” “Open issues by adapter,” “Open epics by % of sub-issues closed,” and “Open issues by assignee.”
HON-02Does a chart or number promise a rate or share in its title or label ("rate", "share", "%") while its values are plainly counts or amounts?Clear0Compared rate/share/% wording with plotted values, including “New issues answered within 48 hours,” the 11% KPI, and “Open epics by % of sub-issues closed.”
HON-03Does the same category appear in different colors in different charts?Clear0Compared repeated issue-type category colors across charts: Feature, Bug, Task, and Other in the backlog, work-location, and assignee charts.
HON-04Does a chart put two measures on two independent value axes with nothing telling the reader which series reads against which axis?N/A0Reviewed visible charts for separate independent value axes and series-to-axis ambiguity.
HON-05Are side-by-side charts or small multiples of the same measure drawn on different scales with nothing saying so, so equal heights mean different amounts?Clear0Compared the side-by-side “Open issues by area” and “Open issues by adapter” charts; each shows its own visible numeric scale and they use different category breakdowns.
HON-06Does a line connect categories that have no order (products, regions, channels), implying a trend between them?Clear0Checked line/area charts for connections across unordered categories; the connected series are time-based (“Open issues over time” and “New issues answered within 48 hours”).
FRM-01Does any chart use a form that hides its main comparison — a pie or donut whose slices are too many or too similar to compare, a 3D chart, a trend shown as a table or pie, or a ranking shown as a line?Clear0Reviewed all visible charts for pies/donuts, 3D forms, trends rendered as tables/pies, and rankings rendered as lines.
FRM-02Do two or more charts on the page hide their main comparison through their form?Clear0Reviewed the page for two or more charts using a form that obscures their primary comparison.
FRM-03In any chart with several series or categories, can some not be told apart — similar colors with no labels, or more series than distinct colors?Clear0Checked the multi-series stacked area and bar charts, plus the opened/closed weekly chart, for distinguishable colors and matching legends.
FRM-04Are the categories of a ranked comparison in an arbitrary or alphabetical order when the point is which is largest?Clear0Checked ordering in ranked category comparisons, including “Open issues by area,” “Open issues by adapter,” “Open issues by assignee,” the triage queue, requested issues, and epic completion.
FRM-05Is a single number drawn as a chart (a gauge, a one-bar chart) where the number alone would do?Clear0Checked whether headline metrics such as open issues, opened/closed, awaiting triage, response rate, days to close, and customer-reported issues were unnecessarily rendered as charts.
FRM-07Do two charts show the same data in the same form, so one adds nothing?Clear0Compared visible charts and tables for redundant displays of the same data in the same chart form.
FRM-06Does a time series start or end with a sudden drop or spike that comes from an incomplete period (a week or month still in progress, a partial first period), with nothing on the page saying the period is partial?Clear0Checked the beginning and end of each visible time series against the as-of date and the page notes, including “Open issues over time,” “Opened vs closed per week,” and “New issues answered within 48 hours.”
LEG-01Does any text overlap other text or cover the mark it labels (tick labels running together, data labels on top of each other, a title over a chart)?Clear0Reviewed all charts, including axis/category labels, chart titles, table headers, and data labels.
LEG-02Do three or more charts on the page have overlapping text?Clear0Reviewed the page for overlapping text across the charts.
LEG-04Is any text too small or too faint to read at the page's normal size — tiny tick labels, pale gray titles or values?Clear0Reviewed full-resolution tiles for unreadably small or excessively faint text.
LEG-05Are charts squeezed into cards too small for them, so their bars, lines, or cells cannot be told apart at the size drawn?Clear0Reviewed chart sizes, marks, and cell/bar/line distinguishability at the drawn size.
LBL-01Is there a number on the page whose unit (currency, percent, count, duration) cannot be found anywhere near it — not in the value, its axis, its title, subtitle, or column?Clear0Reviewed headline metrics, chart axes/titles, and table columns for rates, durations, currencies, and counts.
LBL-03Does the page fail to say what it covers, or is there no period (dates, month, year, "last 30 days") anywhere on it?Clear0Checked whether the page states its scope and supplies a reporting/as-of period.
LBL-04Is there a headline number whose period cannot be found — not on its tile and not stated for the page?Clear0Checked all headline metrics for a stated period on the tile or elsewhere on the page, including the page-level as-of date.
LBL-05Is there a chart or table with no title or label saying what it shows?Clear0Reviewed visible charts and tables for descriptive titles or labels.
LBL-08Does a label contradict what is plotted — a unit that does not fit the measure ($ ticks on a count), an axis or title naming a measure the chart does not show, or a stated finding the chart itself contradicts?Clear0Compared chart titles, legends, axes, and table labels with the visible plotted measures and values.
LBL-09Do numbers or statements on the page contradict each other — a headline that disagrees with the table or chart it summarizes, parts that cannot add up to their total, two different as-of dates, or a note that points at content that is not there ("shown at right", "see tooltip" on a static page)?Clear0Cross-checked headline values against visible supporting charts/tables, including 123 opened minus 71 closed equaling the stated +52, and triage-status counts summing to 511 open issues.
LAY-01Is there a large empty region the content does not need — a hole beside a tall chart, a half-empty row, a band of blank page?Clear0Space between and around dashboard sections and chart/table rows.
LAY-02Are cards visibly misaligned — edges that nearly line up but miss, ragged bottoms within one row, uneven gaps between cards?Clear0Alignment of KPI columns, paired charts, tables, and section edges.
LAY-05Do borders, fills, colored headers, shadows, icons, or decoration carry more visual weight than the data?Clear0Use of borders, fills, colored headers, shadows, icons, and other decoration relative to the data.
LAY-06Is color used in a way that encodes nothing or misleads — bars of a single series cycling through a palette, a rainbow color scale for a quantity, colored or sized marks with no legend saying what color or size means?Clear0Color semantics in stacked charts, response-rate line, progress bars, and bar-chart legends.
LAY-07Is there leftover scaffolding the author left in — placeholder or starter content, debug text, "lorem ipsum", stray test elements?Clear0Visible page content for placeholder text, debug output, starter elements, or stray test content.
EXC-01Does the page state its main finding in words — a title or sentence that says what happened ("Churn doubled in March"), not just what is shown ("Churn by month") — and do the charts bear it out?Not met0Page title, section headings, and charts for a written main finding supported by a chart value.
EXC-04Is a key point marked on a chart where it happens — an annotated spike or dip, a target line, a highlighted series or bar with the rest muted?Not met0Charts for annotations, target/reference lines, or a singled-out highlighted mark.
EXC-06Is most of the data drawn in a neutral gray, with one accent color reserved for the subject — the series, bar, or period the page is about?Not met0Chart color treatment for a neutral baseline with one reserved accent for the subject.
EXC-07Are a chart's series or pie slices labeled directly (at line ends, on the slices) instead of through a legend the reader has to look back at?Not met0Multi-series charts for direct series labels at line ends or on marks rather than legend-only identification.

HON-04Does a chart put two measures on two independent value axes with nothing telling the reader which series reads against which axis?N/A0Checked the visible charts for two independent value axes and whether series-to-axis mapping was identified.
HON-05Are side-by-side charts or small multiples of the same measure drawn on different scales with nothing saying so, so equal heights mean different amounts?N/A0Checked for side-by-side or small-multiple charts displaying the same measure on different unstated scales.
HON-06Does a line connect categories that have no order (products, regions, channels), implying a trend between them?Clear0Checked visible line charts for lines joining unordered categories. The visible line chart is organized by week opened.

FRM-02Do two or more charts on the page hide their main comparison through their form?Clear0Checked whether two or more charts use a comparison-hiding form such as pie/donut, 3D, trend-as-table/pie, or ranking-as-line.
FRM-03In any chart with several series or categories, can some not be told apart — similar colors with no labels, or more series than distinct colors?Clear0Reviewed multi-series charts and their legends: issue type in the stacked area and stacked bars; opened versus closed weekly bars; and age bands in the triage-status bars.
FRM-04Are the categories of a ranked comparison in an arbitrary or alphabetical order when the point is which is largest?Clear0Checked ranked categorical comparisons, especially “Open issues by area” and “Open issues by adapter.” Both are displayed in descending total-open-issue order; triage statuses follow a workflow-like status order.
FRM-05Is a single number drawn as a chart (a gauge, a one-bar chart) where the number alone would do?Clear0Checked KPI cards and charts for a lone value rendered unnecessarily as a gauge or one-bar chart.
FRM-07Do two charts show the same data in the same form, so one adds nothing?Clear0Compared charts for duplicated datasets shown in the same visual form.
FRM-06Does a time series start or end with a sudden drop or spike that comes from an incomplete period (a week or month still in progress, a partial first period), with nothing on the page saying the period is partial?Clear0Checked the first and last observations of the time-series charts against the displayed as-of date (2026-10-14) and the chart notes, including “Complete weeks” on the weekly-flow chart.
LEG-01Does any text overlap other text or cover the mark it labels (tick labels running together, data labels on top of each other, a title over a chart)?Clear0Reviewed chart titles, axis ticks, legends, bar/line marks, and table headers in the full-resolution tiles for text-on-text or text-on-mark collisions.

LEG-03Is any title, label, or table column cut off, ended with an ellipsis that hides words, or pushed outside its card?Clear0Reviewed visible chart titles, labels, legends, KPI cards, and table columns within their respective tiles for clipping, truncation, ellipses hiding words, or overflow.
LEG-04Is any text too small or too faint to read at the page's normal size — tiny tick labels, pale gray titles or values?Clear0Used the full-resolution tiles to inspect axis labels, legends, KPI supporting text, chart annotations, and table text for illegibly small or faint text.
LEG-05Are charts squeezed into cards too small for them, so their bars, lines, or cells cannot be told apart at the size drawn?Clear0Reviewed the visible charts for insufficient plotting space that would make bars, lines, or table-like marks indistinguishable.
LBL-01Is there a number on the page whose unit (currency, percent, count, duration) cannot be found anywhere near it — not in the value, its axis, its title, subtitle, or column?Clear0Checked all headline KPI tiles, chart axes, legends, subtitles, and table columns for units on counts, percentages, and durations.
LBL-02Does any title, axis title, legend, or column header show a raw field name, code, or placeholder ("sum_amount", "fct_orders.region", "Untitled", "Chart 1")?Clear0Checked visible chart titles, axes, legends, and table headers for raw field names, code, or placeholders. Triage-status values such as "awaiting_triage" and "needs_repro" were treated as displayed category values.
LBL-03Does the page fail to say what it covers, or is there no period (dates, month, year, "last 30 days") anywhere on it?Clear0Checked the page header and subtitle for scope and time coverage.
LBL-04Is there a headline number whose period cannot be found — not on its tile and not stated for the page?Clear0Checked the six headline tiles for a stated reporting period or page-level as-of context; the page states "Data as of 2026-10-14."
LBL-05Is there a chart or table with no title or label saying what it shows?Clear0Checked the visible charts and tables for descriptive titles or labels, including backlog, weekly flow, triage, response, area, adapter, epic-progress, and requested-issues sections.
LBL-07Is there a percentage a reader could reasonably read against two different bases, with nothing saying which?Clear0Checked the visible percentages: "Answered within 48h (28d) 11%" and epic "Pct complete." The response chart states "By week opened; unanswered issues count as misses," and the epic table supplies "Child closed" and "Child total."
LBL-08Does a label contradict what is plotted — a unit that does not fit the measure ($ ticks on a count), an axis or title naming a measure the chart does not show, or a stated finding the chart itself contradicts?Clear0Checked chart titles, subtitles, axes, legends, and plotted measures for mismatches, including the opened-versus-closed weekly bars, age-stacked triage bars, and 48-hour response-rate line.
LBL-09Do numbers or statements on the page contradict each other — a headline that disagrees with the table or chart it summarizes, parts that cannot add up to their total, two different as-of dates, or a note that points at content that is not there ("shown at right", "see tooltip" on a static page)?Clear0Checked headline KPIs against the visible charts/tables and checked page dates and notes for conflicting claims.
LAY-01Is there a large empty region the content does not need — a hole beside a tall chart, a half-empty row, a band of blank page?Clear0Space between and around the dashboard cards, charts, and tables.
LAY-02Are cards visibly misaligned — edges that nearly line up but miss, ragged bottoms within one row, uneven gaps between cards?Clear0Alignment of the KPI cards, chart panels, section dividers, and tables.

LAY-05Do borders, fills, colored headers, shadows, icons, or decoration carry more visual weight than the data?Clear0Visual weight of card borders, chart fills, backgrounds, legends, and other decoration relative to data.

EXC-04Is a key point marked on a chart where it happens — an annotated spike or dip, a target line, a highlighted series or bar with the rest muted?Not met0Reviewed charts for annotations, target/reference lines, or a deliberately highlighted spike, dip, period, bar, or series.
EXC-06Is most of the data drawn in a neutral gray, with one accent color reserved for the subject — the series, bar, or period the page is about?Not met0Reviewed chart color treatment to determine whether neutral gray is used for most data with a single accent reserved for the focal subject.
EXC-07Are a chart's series or pie slices labeled directly (at line ends, on the slices) instead of through a legend the reader has to look back at?Not met0Reviewed the multi-series charts for direct labels on series ends or marks rather than reliance on legends.

LBL-01Is there a number on the page whose unit (currency, percent, count, duration) cannot be found anywhere near it — not in the value, its axis, its title, subtitle, or column?Clear0Checked headline tiles, chart axes, legends, subtitles, and table columns for unlabeled currency, percentages, counts, or durations.

LBL-07Is there a percentage a reader could reasonably read against two different bases, with nothing saying which?Clear0Checked visible rates and shares for their denominator/basis. The response chart states “By week opened; unanswered issues count as misses,” and the epic table shows Closed and Sub-issues alongside “% complete.”
LBL-08Does a label contradict what is plotted — a unit that does not fit the measure ($ ticks on a count), an axis or title naming a measure the chart does not show, or a stated finding the chart itself contradicts?Clear0Checked chart titles, axes, legends, and plotted measures for mismatches or contradictions.
LAY-02Are cards visibly misaligned — edges that nearly line up but miss, ragged bottoms within one row, uneven gaps between cards?Clear0Alignment of KPI cards, charts, tables, and section edges
LAY-04Does detail outrank the summary — a raw table, a filter bar, or a minor chart placed above the page's main numbers or charts, or given far more space than them?Clear0Visual order and relative space given to summary versus detail
LAY-05Do borders, fills, colored headers, shadows, icons, or decoration carry more visual weight than the data?Clear0Visual weight of card borders, fills, shadows, and other decoration
LAY-06Is color used in a way that encodes nothing or misleads — bars of a single series cycling through a palette, a rainbow color scale for a quantity, colored or sized marks with no legend saying what color or size means?Clear0Whether colors have explained, consistent data encodings
EXC-01Does the page state its main finding in words — a title or sentence that says what happened ("Churn doubled in March"), not just what is shown ("Churn by month") — and do the charts bear it out?Not met0Page title, section headings, and charts for a written conclusion supported by a chart.

WRK-01Is the page a crash or error screen, or a shell where most panels show no data (error messages, spinners, blank cards, "failed to load"), instead of a working dashboard?PassedGateReviewed the full page and all visible dashboard sections for page-level errors, loading states, and widespread empty panels.
WRK-02Is any chart or table panel blank, an error message, a loading spinner, or a placeholder where data should be?Clear0Reviewed each visible KPI card, chart, and table panel for blank states, errors, placeholders, or spinners.
HON-01Does a bar or area chart whose bar length shows an amount have a value axis that starts above zero, so small differences look large?Clear0Checked value-axis baselines on the area and bar charts, including open issues over time, opened vs closed, triage age, area, adapter, and assignee charts.
HON-02Does a chart or number promise a rate or share in its title or label ("rate", "share", "%") while its values are plainly counts or amounts?Clear0Compared rate/share/% wording with displayed values and axes, including “New issues answered within 48 hours” and “Open epics by % of sub-issues closed.”
HON-03Does the same category appear in different colors in different charts?Clear0Compared the repeated issue-type color legend across charts: Feature, Bug, Task, and Other use consistent colors where repeated.
HON-04Does a chart put two measures on two independent value axes with nothing telling the reader which series reads against which axis?N/A0Reviewed visible charts for dual independent value axes and series-to-axis ambiguity.
HON-05Are side-by-side charts or small multiples of the same measure drawn on different scales with nothing saying so, so equal heights mean different amounts?Clear0Compared the side-by-side “Open issues by area” and “Open issues by adapter” charts. Their count-axis scales differ, but each chart visibly provides its own labeled axis ticks.
HON-06Does a line connect categories that have no order (products, regions, channels), implying a trend between them?Clear0Reviewed line charts for lines connecting unordered categories. The visible line chart, “New issues answered within 48 hours,” is ordered by week/date.
FRM-01Does any chart use a form that hides its main comparison — a pie or donut whose slices are too many or too similar to compare, a 3D chart, a trend shown as a table or pie, or a ranking shown as a line?Clear0Reviewed all chart forms and the comparisons they support.
FRM-02Do two or more charts on the page hide their main comparison through their form?Clear0Checked whether two or more charts use forms that hide their main comparisons.
FRM-03In any chart with several series or categories, can some not be told apart — similar colors with no labels, or more series than distinct colors?Clear0Reviewed multi-series/category charts, including the stacked issue-type charts, triage-age chart, area, adapter, and assignee charts, for unmatched or indistinguishable series.
FRM-04Are the categories of a ranked comparison in an arbitrary or alphabetical order when the point is which is largest?Clear0Checked ordering in ranked categorical comparisons: triage queue, open issues by area, adapter, epic completion, requested issues, and assignee.
FRM-05Is a single number drawn as a chart (a gauge, a one-bar chart) where the number alone would do?Clear0Checked KPI cards and charts for a single value unnecessarily rendered as a gauge or one-bar chart.
FRM-07Do two charts show the same data in the same form, so one adds nothing?Clear0Compared chart subjects and forms for duplicate visualizations that add no new information.
FRM-06Does a time series start or end with a sudden drop or spike that comes from an incomplete period (a week or month still in progress, a partial first period), with nothing on the page saying the period is partial?Clear0Checked the first and last points of the time series for unexplained incomplete-period spikes or drops; the weekly opened/closed chart explicitly states "Complete weeks."
LEG-01Does any text overlap other text or cover the mark it labels (tick labels running together, data labels on top of each other, a title over a chart)?Clear0Reviewed chart titles, legends, axis ticks, table headers, and plotted marks across the full-resolution tiles.
LEG-02Do three or more charts on the page have overlapping text?Clear0Reviewed all charts for overlapping text.
LEG-03Is any title, label, or table column cut off, ended with an ellipsis that hides words, or pushed outside its card?Clear0Reviewed card boundaries, chart/table titles, labels, and table columns in each tile.
LEG-04Is any text too small or too faint to read at the page's normal size — tiny tick labels, pale gray titles or values?Clear0Reviewed text at the full-resolution tile scale, including chart ticks, legends, notes, and table text.
LEG-05Are charts squeezed into cards too small for them, so their bars, lines, or cells cannot be told apart at the size drawn?Clear0Reviewed chart sizes and whether plotted bars, lines, and table/progress cells can be visually distinguished.
LBL-01Is there a number on the page whose unit (currency, percent, count, duration) cannot be found anywhere near it — not in the value, its axis, its title, subtitle, or column?Clear0Headline tiles, chart axes, legends, and table columns were checked for missing units on counts, rates, and durations.
LBL-03Does the page fail to say what it covers, or is there no period (dates, month, year, "last 30 days") anywhere on it?Clear0The page scope and visible time references were checked.
LBL-04Is there a headline number whose period cannot be found — not on its tile and not stated for the page?Clear0All six headline tiles were checked for a tile-level or page-level timeframe; the page also states it was queried live and several tiles explicitly state "(28d)".
LBL-05Is there a chart or table with no title or label saying what it shows?Clear0All visible charts and tables were checked for a descriptive title or label.
LBL-07Is there a percentage a reader could reasonably read against two different bases, with nothing saying which?Clear0Visible percentages were checked for their basis, including "Answered within 48h (28d)" and the epic "% complete" column.
LBL-08Does a label contradict what is plotted — a unit that does not fit the measure ($ ticks on a count), an axis or title naming a measure the chart does not show, or a stated finding the chart itself contradicts?Clear0Chart titles, axes, legends, and plotted measures were compared, including the opened-versus-closed weekly bars and the open-issue stacked series.
LBL-09Do numbers or statements on the page contradict each other — a headline that disagrees with the table or chart it summarizes, parts that cannot add up to their total, two different as-of dates, or a note that points at content that is not there ("shown at right", "see tooltip" on a static page)?Clear0Headline metrics were compared with related chart/table values and page timestamps/notes were checked for conflicts.
LAY-01Is there a large empty region the content does not need — a hole beside a tall chart, a half-empty row, a band of blank page?Clear0Space between and around dashboard cards across the full page.
LAY-02Are cards visibly misaligned — edges that nearly line up but miss, ragged bottoms within one row, uneven gaps between cards?Clear0Alignment of metric cards, chart cards, tables, and row gaps.
LAY-04Does detail outrank the summary — a raw table, a filter bar, or a minor chart placed above the page's main numbers or charts, or given far more space than them?Clear0Whether detailed tables or secondary content appear before the headline metrics and primary charts.
LAY-05Do borders, fills, colored headers, shadows, icons, or decoration carry more visual weight than the data?Clear0Visual weight of card borders, fills, legends, and other decoration relative to the data.
LAY-06Is color used in a way that encodes nothing or misleads — bars of a single series cycling through a palette, a rainbow color scale for a quantity, colored or sized marks with no legend saying what color or size means?Clear0Whether chart colors have meaningful, consistently legend-defined encodings.
EXC-01Does the page state its main finding in words — a title or sentence that says what happened ("Churn doubled in March"), not just what is shown ("Churn by month") — and do the charts bear it out?Not met0Page title, section headings, and chart annotations for a written statement of the dashboard's main finding supported by a chart.
EXC-04Is a key point marked on a chart where it happens — an annotated spike or dip, a target line, a highlighted series or bar with the rest muted?Not met0Charts for an in-place annotation, target/reference line, or a singled-out highlighted mark/series.
EXC-06Is most of the data drawn in a neutral gray, with one accent color reserved for the subject — the series, bar, or period the page is about?Not met0Chart color treatment for mostly neutral-gray data with a single accent reserved for the focal subject.
EXC-07Are a chart's series or pie slices labeled directly (at line ends, on the slices) instead of through a legend the reader has to look back at?Not met0Multi-series charts for direct labels on series or slices rather than reliance on a legend.

LBL-08Does a label contradict what is plotted — a unit that does not fit the measure ($ ticks on a count), an axis or title naming a measure the chart does not show, or a stated finding the chart itself contradicts?Clear0Compared chart titles and axis labels with the plotted measures. Open-issue charts use open-issue counts, the trend chart uses average days to close, and the lower charts use issues opened and median days to close; no visible mismatch was found.
LBL-09Do numbers or statements on the page contradict each other — a headline that disagrees with the table or chart it summarizes, parts that cannot add up to their total, two different as-of dates, or a note that points at content that is not there ("shown at right", "see tooltip" on a static page)?Clear0Checked visible headline values against the displayed component values and chart labeling. The open-issue category bars shown as 282, 201, 23, and 5 sum to the 511 Open issues headline; no conflicting dates, totals, or statements are visible.

LAY-04Does detail outrank the summary — a raw table, a filter bar, or a minor chart placed above the page's main numbers or charts, or given far more space than them?Clear0Checked whether registry/detail content or query text is placed above or given more emphasis than the metric snapshot and charts.
LAY-05Do borders, fills, colored headers, shadows, icons, or decoration carry more visual weight than the data?Clear0Checked whether card fills, borders, colored values, and other decorative treatment outweigh the data visualizations.
LAY-06Is color used in a way that encodes nothing or misleads — bars of a single series cycling through a palette, a rainbow color scale for a quantity, colored or sized marks with no legend saying what color or size means?Clear0Checked color usage in the bar and line charts and the metric snapshot cards for unexplained or misleading encodings.
LAY-07Is there leftover scaffolding the author left in — placeholder or starter content, debug text, "lorem ipsum", stray test elements?Clear0Checked visible text and components for placeholders, debug output, test elements, or accidental scaffolding.
EXC-01Does the page state its main finding in words — a title or sentence that says what happened ("Churn doubled in March"), not just what is shown ("Churn by month") — and do the charts bear it out?Not met0Checked the page title, metric registry, snapshot cards, and chart headings for a narrative finding supported by a chart.

LBL-09Do numbers or statements on the page contradict each other — a headline that disagrees with the table or chart it summarizes, parts that cannot add up to their total, two different as-of dates, or a note that points at content that is not there ("shown at right", "see tooltip" on a static page)?Clear0Cross-checked headline values against related charts/tables and checked date and explanatory statements for contradictions.
LAY-02Are cards visibly misaligned — edges that nearly line up but miss, ragged bottoms within one row, uneven gaps between cards?Clear0Checked alignment of card edges, row gaps, and card bottoms across the dashboard.
LAY-04Does detail outrank the summary — a raw table, a filter bar, or a minor chart placed above the page's main numbers or charts, or given far more space than them?Clear0Checked ordering and relative prominence of KPI summaries, charts, and detailed tables.
LAY-05Do borders, fills, colored headers, shadows, icons, or decoration carry more visual weight than the data?Clear0Checked whether card decoration, borders, fills, shadows, or other chrome outweigh the data.
LAY-06Is color used in a way that encodes nothing or misleads — bars of a single series cycling through a palette, a rainbow color scale for a quantity, colored or sized marks with no legend saying what color or size means?Clear0Checked color use and legends across charts and tables.
EXC-01Does the page state its main finding in words — a title or sentence that says what happened ("Churn doubled in March"), not just what is shown ("Churn by month") — and do the charts bear it out?Not met0Checked the page title, section headings, subtitles, and charts for a written finding that asserts a result and is supported by a chart.
EXC-04Is a key point marked on a chart where it happens — an annotated spike or dip, a target line, a highlighted series or bar with the rest muted?Not met0Checked charts for an annotation at a spike/dip, target/reference line, or a deliberately highlighted mark against muted context.
EXC-06Is most of the data drawn in a neutral gray, with one accent color reserved for the subject — the series, bar, or period the page is about?Not met0Checked whether neutral gray is used for most data with a single accent reserved for the primary subject.
EXC-07Are a chart's series or pie slices labeled directly (at line ends, on the slices) instead of through a legend the reader has to look back at?Not met0Checked multi-series charts for direct series labels at line ends or on marks rather than reliance on legends.

BRF-02Do elements the brief did not ask for take up more of the page than the elements it did ask for?Clear0Compared the visible requested content (KPIs, requested charts, and requested issue/epic tables) with non-brief content such as the welcome header, visitor counter, decorative styling, and spacer/banner area.
WRK-01Is the page a crash or error screen, or a shell where most panels show no data (error messages, spinners, blank cards, "failed to load"), instead of a working dashboard?PassedGateReviewed the visible full dashboard and its chart/table panels for page-level errors, loading states, or widespread missing data.
WRK-02Is any chart or table panel blank, an error message, a loading spinner, or a placeholder where data should be?Clear0Reviewed each visible chart and table panel for blank states, error messages, spinners, or placeholders instead of data.
HON-01Does a bar or area chart whose bar length shows an amount have a value axis that starts above zero, so small differences look large?Unclear0Checked the visible area chart and horizontal/vertical bar charts for truncated amount axes. The time-series area chart shows a zero baseline; horizontal stacked bar charts have no visible numeric value axis and no value labels that allow a reliable baseline comparison.
HON-02Does a chart or number promise a rate or share in its title or label ("rate", "share", "%") while its values are plainly counts or amounts?Clear0Compared labels that promise rates/shares/percentages with the displayed values and plotted axes.
HON-03Does the same category appear in different colors in different charts?Clear0Compared repeated color-coded issue-type categories across charts. The legend consistently shows Feature in blue, Bug in orange, Task in green, and Other in gray where those categories recur.
HON-04Does a chart put two measures on two independent value axes with nothing telling the reader which series reads against which axis?N/A0Reviewed visible charts for dual independent value axes and series-to-axis ambiguity.
HON-05Are side-by-side charts or small multiples of the same measure drawn on different scales with nothing saying so, so equal heights mean different amounts?N/A0Reviewed peer/side-by-side charts for the same measure presented on different unexplained scales. The visible charts are distinct measures or single panels rather than comparable same-measure small multiples.
HON-06Does a line connect categories that have no order (products, regions, channels), implying a trend between them?Clear0Reviewed line charts for lines connecting unordered categories. The visible line chart, “New issues answered within 48 hours,” is ordered by week/date.
FRM-01Does any chart use a form that hides its main comparison — a pie or donut whose slices are too many or too similar to compare, a 3D chart, a trend shown as a table or pie, or a ranking shown as a line?Clear0Reviewed the forms used for trends, rankings, comparisons, and headline metrics.
FRM-02Do two or more charts on the page hide their main comparison through their form?Clear0Checked whether two or more charts use a form that obscures their intended comparisons.
FRM-03In any chart with several series or categories, can some not be told apart — similar colors with no labels, or more series than distinct colors?Clear0Reviewed multi-series/category charts and their legends, including issue type, triage-age bands, area, and adapter charts.
FRM-04Are the categories of a ranked comparison in an arbitrary or alphabetical order when the point is which is largest?Clear0Checked ordering in ranked categorical displays: the triage queue is oldest-first; areas and adapters are displayed largest-to-smallest; epics are ordered by completion; requested issues are explicitly ranked by reactions then comments.
FRM-05Is a single number drawn as a chart (a gauge, a one-bar chart) where the number alone would do?Clear0Reviewed the headline cards and charts for gauges or one-bar charts used only to show a single number.
FRM-07Do two charts show the same data in the same form, so one adds nothing?Clear0Compared charts for duplicated datasets shown in the same form.
FRM-06Does a time series start or end with a sudden drop or spike that comes from an incomplete period (a week or month still in progress, a partial first period), with nothing on the page saying the period is partial?Clear0Checked the starts and ends of the visible time series (“Open issues over time,” “Opened vs closed per week,” and “New issues answered within 48 hours”) for abrupt endpoint changes indicating an undisclosed partial period.
LEG-01Does any text overlap other text or cover the mark it labels (tick labels running together, data labels on top of each other, a title over a chart)?Clear0Reviewed chart titles, axes, legends, bar labels, and table headers in the full-resolution tiles for collisions.
LEG-02Do three or more charts on the page have overlapping text?Clear0Reviewed all visible charts for text collisions affecting three or more charts.
LEG-04Is any text too small or too faint to read at the page's normal size — tiny tick labels, pale gray titles or values?Clear0Used the full-resolution tiles to inspect small axis ticks, legends, supporting copy, values, and table text.
LEG-05Are charts squeezed into cards too small for them, so their bars, lines, or cells cannot be told apart at the size drawn?Clear0Reviewed the visible line, area, column, and stacked-bar charts for marks that cannot be distinguished at their drawn size.
LBL-01Is there a number on the page whose unit (currency, percent, count, duration) cannot be found anywhere near it — not in the value, its axis, its title, subtitle, or column?Clear0Checked all headline metrics, chart axes, and table columns for units. Counts are identified by their labels; durations use days/hours; percentages use %.
LBL-02Does any title, axis title, legend, or column header show a raw field name, code, or placeholder ("sum_amount", "fct_orders.region", "Untitled", "Chart 1")?Clear0Checked chart titles, subtitles, axes, legends, and table headers for raw field names, code, or placeholders.
LBL-03Does the page fail to say what it covers, or is there no period (dates, month, year, "last 30 days") anywhere on it?Clear0Checked the page header for coverage and date information.
LBL-04Is there a headline number whose period cannot be found — not on its tile and not stated for the page?Clear0Checked headline tiles for periods and page-level timing context. The page states “Data as of 2026-10-14,” while rolling metrics identify “(28d).”
LBL-05Is there a chart or table with no title or label saying what it shows?Clear0Checked every visible chart and table for a descriptive title or label.
LBL-07Is there a percentage a reader could reasonably read against two different bases, with nothing saying which?Clear0Checked visible percentages and their bases. “Answered within 48h (28d)” is contextualized by “By week opened; unanswered issues count as misses,” and epic “% DONE” is paired with CLOSED and SUB-ISSUES columns.
LBL-08Does a label contradict what is plotted — a unit that does not fit the measure ($ ticks on a count), an axis or title naming a measure the chart does not show, or a stated finding the chart itself contradicts?Clear0Compared visible chart titles, legends, axes, and stated descriptions with their plotted marks.
LBL-09Do numbers or statements on the page contradict each other — a headline that disagrees with the table or chart it summarizes, parts that cannot add up to their total, two different as-of dates, or a note that points at content that is not there ("shown at right", "see tooltip" on a static page)?Clear0Cross-checked headline values against nearby supporting content and page dates. “Opened / closed (28d) 123 / 71” is consistent with “+52 in 28 days,” and the page has one stated as-of date.
LAY-01Is there a large empty region the content does not need — a hole beside a tall chart, a half-empty row, a band of blank page?Clear0Space between and around cards across the visible page.
LAY-02Are cards visibly misaligned — edges that nearly line up but miss, ragged bottoms within one row, uneven gaps between cards?Clear0Alignment of KPI cards, chart panels, section headers, and tables.
LAY-06Is color used in a way that encodes nothing or misleads — bars of a single series cycling through a palette, a rainbow color scale for a quantity, colored or sized marks with no legend saying what color or size means?Clear0Color meaning in charts, including series legends and categorical consistency.
LAY-07Is there leftover scaffolding the author left in — placeholder or starter content, debug text, "lorem ipsum", stray test elements?Clear0Visible page content for placeholders, debug output, test elements, or starter text.
EXC-01Does the page state its main finding in words — a title or sentence that says what happened ("Churn doubled in March"), not just what is shown ("Churn by month") — and do the charts bear it out?Not met0Page title, section headings, and the backlog charts for a declarative statement of the main finding.
EXC-04Is a key point marked on a chart where it happens — an annotated spike or dip, a target line, a highlighted series or bar with the rest muted?Not met0Charts for annotations, target lines, or a singled-out highlighted point/bar/series marking a key event.
EXC-06Is most of the data drawn in a neutral gray, with one accent color reserved for the subject — the series, bar, or period the page is about?Not met0Chart color treatment for predominantly neutral-gray data with one reserved accent for the subject.
EXC-07Are a chart's series or pie slices labeled directly (at line ends, on the slices) instead of through a legend the reader has to look back at?Not met0Multi-series charts for direct labels on series or slices rather than reliance on legends.

EXC-08Does the page explain its numbers where they are shown — how a measure is defined, a filter or exclusion applied, a method note, or the sample size behind a rate?Met+5 raw“Open at the end of each week, by type” | “Complete weeks; when closed > opened the backlog shrank” | “By week opened; unanswered issues count as misses” | “Open issues still labeled status:triage” | “Issues with several areas count in each” | “(none) = adapter-agnostic” | “Top of the list can be closed out soon” | “Ranked by reactions, then comments” | “Top 15, excluding unassigned”

CheckResultImpactEvidence
DEL-01Did the artifact's own run instructions produce a page with content?PassedGate onlyNo additional evidence recorded.
DEL-03Does the visible text contain NaN, undefined, null, Invalid Date, or a traceback?Clear0No additional evidence recorded.
COR-01What share of the brief's reference numbers are missing from the page? (scored proportionally)N/A0the brief has no reference numbers
BRF-02Do elements the brief did not ask for take up more of the page than the elements it did ask for?Clear0Compared visible page space used by requested brief content (KPIs, requested chart/table sections, triage queue, epic progress, and requested-issues table) with content not requested in the brief.
WRK-01Is the page a crash or error screen, or a shell where most panels show no data (error messages, spinners, blank cards, "failed to load"), instead of a working dashboard?PassedGateChecked whether the page is an overall error/crash state or whether most dashboard panels lack data. The KPI cards and several tables contain data, despite multiple blank chart panels.
HON-01Does a bar or area chart whose bar length shows an amount have a value axis that starts above zero, so small differences look large?Clear0Checked visible amount-encoding bars. The epic-completion horizontal bars have percentage labels and their displayed lengths appear consistent with those percentages; no truncated value axis is visible.
HON-02Does a chart or number promise a rate or share in its title or label ("rate", "share", "%") while its values are plainly counts or amounts?Clear0Checked rate/share/percent wording against displayed values. “Answered within 48h (28d)” is shown as 11%, and epic “% complete” values are displayed as percentages.
HON-03Does the same category appear in different colors in different charts?N/A0Checked whether a color-distinguished category recurs in more than one chart with conflicting colors. No repeated color-coded categories are visible.
HON-04Does a chart put two measures on two independent value axes with nothing telling the reader which series reads against which axis?N/A0Checked visible charts for two independent value axes without series-to-axis mapping. No visible chart has two value axes.
HON-05Are side-by-side charts or small multiples of the same measure drawn on different scales with nothing saying so, so equal heights mean different amounts?N/A0Checked side-by-side or small-multiple charts of the same measure for undisclosed scale differences. The relevant chart panels are blank, so no differing peer scales are visible.
HON-06Does a line connect categories that have no order (products, regions, channels), implying a trend between them?Clear0Checked visible visualizations for lines connecting unordered categories. No visible line chart connects unordered categories.
FRM-01Does any chart use a form that hides its main comparison — a pie or donut whose slices are too many or too similar to compare, a 3D chart, a trend shown as a table or pie, or a ranking shown as a line?Unclear0Visible chart forms and their intended comparisons, including the tiles titled “Open issues over time,” “Opened vs closed per week,” “Open issues by area,” and “Open issues by adapter.”
FRM-02Do two or more charts on the page hide their main comparison through their form?Unclear0Whether two or more visible charts use forms that obscure their primary comparisons.
FRM-03In any chart with several series or categories, can some not be told apart — similar colors with no labels, or more series than distinct colors?N/A0Rendered multi-series or multi-category charts, including legends and colored series/category distinctions.
FRM-04Are the categories of a ranked comparison in an arbitrary or alphabetical order when the point is which is largest?Clear0Ranked comparisons visible in the tables: “Open epics by % of sub-issues closed” is ordered from 100% down to 63%, and “Most-requested open issues” is labeled “Ranked by reactions, then comments” and descends by reactions.
FRM-05Is a single number drawn as a chart (a gauge, a one-bar chart) where the number alone would do?Clear0Whether a single value is drawn as a gauge or one-bar chart rather than shown directly.
FRM-07Do two charts show the same data in the same form, so one adds nothing?Clear0Visible charts and tables for repeated data shown in the same form.
FRM-08Is a chart's point destroyed by its scale or ordering — one outlier flattening everything else, two measures of very different size sharing one axis so one is a flat line, or histogram or time bins sorted out of their natural order?Unclear0Visible chart scales and ordering for unreadable comparisons or improperly ordered time bins.
FRM-06Does a time series start or end with a sudden drop or spike that comes from an incomplete period (a week or month still in progress, a partial first period), with nothing on the page saying the period is partial?N/A0Rendered time-series endpoints for unexplained incomplete-period spikes or drops.
LEG-01Does any text overlap other text or cover the mark it labels (tick labels running together, data labels on top of each other, a title over a chart)?Clear0Checked all visible KPI cards, chart cards, and tables for text colliding with other text or with chart marks.
LEG-02Do three or more charts on the page have overlapping text?Clear0Checked whether three or more visible charts contain overlapping text.
LEG-04Is any text too small or too faint to read at the page's normal size — tiny tick labels, pale gray titles or values?Clear0Checked the full-resolution tiles for illegibly small or overly faint text, including supporting labels and table values.
LEG-05Are charts squeezed into cards too small for them, so their bars, lines, or cells cannot be told apart at the size drawn?Unclear0Checked visible chart cards for bars, lines, or cells that are too compressed to distinguish.
LBL-01Is there a number on the page whose unit (currency, percent, count, duration) cannot be found anywhere near it — not in the value, its axis, its title, subtitle, or column?Clear0Checked headline tiles, table columns, and visible percentage/progress values for missing units or bases nearby.
LBL-02Does any title, axis title, legend, or column header show a raw field name, code, or placeholder ("sum_amount", "fct_orders.region", "Untitled", "Chart 1")?Clear0Checked visible chart/table titles, headers, and legends for raw field names, code, or placeholders.
LBL-03Does the page fail to say what it covers, or is there no period (dates, month, year, "last 30 days") anywhere on it?Clear0Checked the page header and metric labels for scope and period information.
LBL-05Is there a chart or table with no title or label saying what it shows?Clear0Checked all visible cards, tables, and chart placeholders for a title or descriptive label.
LBL-08Does a label contradict what is plotted — a unit that does not fit the measure ($ ticks on a count), an axis or title naming a measure the chart does not show, or a stated finding the chart itself contradicts?Clear0Checked labels against the visible values, table columns, and progress bars for incompatible measures or stated contradictions.
LAY-01Is there a large empty region the content does not need — a hole beside a tall chart, a half-empty row, a band of blank page?Clear0Space between and around page cards; excluding blank plot areas inside chart cards and blank space below the last card.
LAY-02Are cards visibly misaligned — edges that nearly line up but miss, ragged bottoms within one row, uneven gaps between cards?Clear0Alignment of card edges, row bottoms, and inter-card gaps across the visible dashboard.
LAY-05Do borders, fills, colored headers, shadows, icons, or decoration carry more visual weight than the data?Clear0Relative visual weight of cards, borders, fills, headers, shadows, icons, and data.
LAY-06Is color used in a way that encodes nothing or misleads — bars of a single series cycling through a palette, a rainbow color scale for a quantity, colored or sized marks with no legend saying what color or size means?Clear0Whether visible color encodes a meaningful variable and whether legends/encodings are misleading.
EXC-01Does the page state its main finding in words — a title or sentence that says what happened ("Churn doubled in March"), not just what is shown ("Churn by month") — and do the charts bear it out?Not met0Page title, section headings, headline cards, and visible chart/table captions for a written conclusion about what happened.
EXC-04Is a key point marked on a chart where it happens — an annotated spike or dip, a target line, a highlighted series or bar with the rest muted?Not met0Visible charts and progress displays for an annotated event, target/reference line, or deliberately highlighted series/bar.
EXC-06Is most of the data drawn in a neutral gray, with one accent color reserved for the subject — the series, bar, or period the page is about?Not met0Visible tables, cards, and epic completion bars for a neutral-data treatment with a single accent reserved for the dashboard’s subject.
EXC-07Are a chart's series or pie slices labeled directly (at line ends, on the slices) instead of through a legend the reader has to look back at?N/A0Visible charts for multiple series or pie slices with direct labels.
