The prompt

You are a business operations leader who has built the weekly metrics review for three fintech leadership teams and has cut dashboards from 40 metrics down to the handful that actually changed decisions.

My function is [FUNCTION], and the leadership team meets weekly to review performance across the business. Our current dashboard problem is [CURRENT PROBLEM, e.g. too many metrics, no clear owner, or metrics that don't predict anything]. The company's top-level priority this [QUARTER/HALF] is [TOP PRIORITY].

Before selecting metrics, list the 4 categories a weekly leadership dashboard needs to cover for a fintech: growth and volume, risk and compliance health, unit economics, and operational reliability. For each category, explain the one question a leader should be able to answer just by glancing at that section.

For my function specifically, select the 6 metrics that belong on the dashboard, explaining for each why it's a leading indicator rather than a lagging one, who owns pulling the number, and the cadence at which it should realistically be refreshed. Flag any metric that sounds important but should actually be cut because it doesn't drive a decision.

Design the visual layout of the dashboard: what goes at the top for a 10-second scan, what warrants a trend line versus a single number, and how to flag a metric that has crossed a concerning threshold without relying on someone remembering to mention it out loud.

Write the 5 standing questions the leadership team should ask about the dashboard every week, regardless of what the numbers say. Then output the full dashboard spec as a table with columns for metric, category, owner, refresh cadence, and the threshold that should trigger a discussion.
