Decision Board

Decision Board is a Power BI visual designed for teams that need to prioritize action, not just visualize data.

Instead of scanning charts and tables to determine what matters, Decision Board evaluates multiple signals per entity, classifies each entity into a clear state (Critical, Action Needed, Watch, Healthy), and explains why that state was assigned.

All logic is deterministic, configurable, and transparent — no black boxes, no AI guesses.

What Decision Board does

Decision Board acts as a decision surface for your report:

• Evaluates multiple signals per entity (e.g., revenue, churn risk, satisfaction, tickets)
• Compares each signal against a configurable baseline (prior period or rolling average)
• Applies rule-based thresholds to determine severity
• Assigns a single, prioritized state per entity
• Explains exactly which signal triggered the state and why
• Adapts to both wide and narrow report layouts

The result is a clear, ranked view of where attention is required - suitable for daily operational reviews or executive summaries.

Who Decision Board is for

Decision Board is built for teams that regularly review performance and need to decide what to act on.

Operations and leadership teams

• Weekly or monthly performance reviews
• Portfolio, account, or customer health monitoring
• Executive dashboards where attention must be focused quickly

Analytics teams supporting decision-makers

• BI teams tired of building one-off "health score" pages
• Analysts who want explainable logic instead of opaque scores
• Teams that need consistent decision rules across many entities

Organizations monitoring many entities at once

• Customers, accounts, products, locations, departments, vendors
• Any scenario where relative change matters more than raw size
• Mixed-scale entities (large and small) evaluated using the same logic

Teams that require transparency and trust

• Deterministic, rule-based evaluation
• Clear explanations for every state
• Optional debug view for audits and validation
• No machine learning or hidden weighting

If your dashboard answers the question

“What should we look at first?”

Decision Board belongs on that page.

Designed for real-world Power BI reports

Decision Board was built to work within real report constraints:

• Supports horizontal and vertical layouts
• Optional expandable rows for detailed explanations
• Signal-level configuration without adding extra data fields
• Works with existing measures and models
• No requirement for special schemas or AI services

It fits naturally into existing dashboards without redesign.
