Why it matters
A beautiful dashboard can hide a bad number for months. That is why I distrust stories about visualisation that say nothing about governance: the expensive part is not displaying the number, it is guaranteeing the number means the same thing on Tuesday as on Thursday.
I look at lineage before I look at the chart: where each number comes from, who can change it, and what happens if the source system goes down. If nobody can walk that chain in two minutes, the dashboard is displaying confidence it did not earn.
What usually goes wrong
What I see fail most is dashboard maintenance. It gets built carefully, used for three months, and then a business rule changes that nobody told the data team about. The number still comes out, it no longer means the same thing, and decisions keep being made on data that became false.
What to watch
- Who answers for the quality of the indicator when somebody challenges it in a committee.
- Which concrete decision changes because of this and who makes it: without that, it is one more dashboard.
- Whether definitions are agreed across areas or each one brings its own to the meeting.
How I read this entry
What I would ask for is a business owner for each critical indicator, by name. Not an area: a person. Data without an owner degrades on its own, and when somebody asks why the number changed, there is nobody to ask.
