Module 12 Activity

Scenario

Assemble the charts into something a reader takes a finding from without touching anything.

What you build

A dashboard with one number and its comparison at the top, a deliberate reading order, and only charts that support a clause of the summary.

Steps

1. Write the summary sentence first. List its clauses.
2. Map every candidate chart to a clause. Do not build anything that maps to none, and list what you deliberately excluded.
3. Put one number and its comparison - a target, a previous period, or both - at the top.
4. Place the charts by reading order, keeping everything the argument depends on above the fold.
5. Check every filter state a reader could reach and constrain the ones that produce meaningless samples.
6. Arrange to measure whether it is opened a second time.

Evidence to hand in

• The summary sentence and its clauses.
• The chart-to-clause map with the exclusions.
• The headline number with its comparison.
• The layout with the fold marked.
• The filter audit.
• Your usage measurement plan.

Review checklist

• The summary sentence was written before the layout.
• No chart supports zero clauses, and the exclusions are listed.
• The headline number carries a comparison.
• Everything the argument depends on is above the fold.
• Filter states that produce meaningless samples are constrained.
