Dashboards

Dashboards put coverage, quality score, and compliance readiness across every module in one view — so a status review or an audit starts from live data, not a spreadsheet. Build the view you need from configurable widgets and export it when you need to share it.

This section covers configuring dashboards and widgets, reading the signals they show, and exporting them.

One live view instead of a status spreadsheet

The recurring cost in a regulated program is assembling status by hand — pulling coverage numbers from one tool, defect counts from another, and compliance readiness from a spreadsheet someone updates the night before a review. Dashboards remove that assembly step. Because every module writes to the same underlying graph, a dashboard reads coverage, quality score, and compliance readiness straight from live data, so a program review or an audit starts from what is actually true right now rather than a snapshot that was already stale when it was pasted in.

Built from configurable widgets

A dashboard is composed of widgets you choose and arrange, each showing one facet of program health — requirement coverage, test pass rates, open risks by severity, suspect links, approval backlogs, and more. Different audiences need different views, so you build the view that fits: an engineering lead’s working dashboard looks different from the one you export for a management review, and both draw from the same source of truth.

Reading the signals

The three signals worth understanding together are coverage (is every requirement traced and verified), quality (are the records well-formed and complete), and compliance readiness (are the controlled states, signatures, and audit trail where they need to be). A dashboard that shows all three at once is what turns “are we ready to ship or be inspected” from a week of preparation into a glance.
