Checklist Before You Pin That Dashboard to the Lobby TV

Lobby screens invite photography. Assume someone screenshots every tile.

Confirm refresh timestamps display in local time with explicit delays when extracts lag. Ambiguity erodes trust faster than missing charts.

Verify color contrast for sunlight—not only for accessibility audits but because afternoon glare hides warnings.

Add a footer line naming the data owner and escalation path so front-desk teams know who to ping when numbers look stale.

If you cannot defend the metric under casual questioning, keep it off the wall until KPI Architecture Workshop graduates align on language.
