Can this dashboard make someone believe a lie?

Four rules, no judgement calls. FAIL if a bar or column does not start at 0, if angle, area, or volume carries a magnitude comparison, if a benchmark or trend story has no benchmark, or if a sentence would suffice and no comparison was added. Otherwise REDRAW if the point or the story class is missing. Otherwise KEEP. Run every chart in the pack through it before the pack goes out.

The charts are honest. Now make the numbers investor-grade.

A clean pack is table stakes. The $39 Investor-Readiness System turns the numbers behind it into the proof and the story an investor can check. Fix the worst offender before your next board pack goes out.
