Data and Analytics
Decision-oriented views that preserve comparison, units, filters, freshness, provenance, and drill-down context.
Product guidesContextual
Intent
Choose tables and charts from user questions instead of decorating dashboards with arbitrary metrics.
Checks
- State the decision or question each visualization supports.
- Show units, time range, filters, freshness, and no-data states.
- Provide labels and non-color distinctions with a table or text alternative where needed.
Warnings
- Do not use 3D charts, truncated axes, or metric cards without decision context.
Exceptions
- A monitoring wall may optimize distant scanning over detailed interaction.
