Ship a live, public dashboard

Dashboards are the analyst’s product. Build a public dashboard with at least 4 widgets on a real dataset in Looker Studio (or Flourish), use AI to prep the data and critique the layout, and walk us through one decision it helps someone make.

The work brief

  1. 01Pick a real dataset (your survey data, a public dataset, or your college’s numbers).
  2. 02Load it into Looker Studio (free) or Flourish and build 4+ widgets: at least one trend, one comparison, one KPI number.
  3. 03Arrange it so the most important thing is seen first. Paste a screenshot into AI and ask it to critique the layout like a picky manager — apply the notes that survive your own judgment.
  4. 04Publish it with a public link and write who would use it and for what decision.

What you’ll produce

4 deliverables

Submission standard

Submit the public dashboard link, your data source, a screenshot, and the decision walkthrough. The link must open without login. Include your AI workflow — tools, best prompts, and what you changed. Optionally include a share link to your AI layout-critique chat; either way, confirm the dashboard link opens without any login.

  • Public link to your live dashboard

    Public link to YOUR live dashboard — must open without any login and match your screenshot.

    Public linkRequired

  • What data it shows and where it came from

    Written responseRequired

  • Screenshot of the full dashboard

    Image uploadRequired

  • Who uses this, and one real decision it helps them make (walk us through it)

    Written responseRequired

You’ll complete these inside your private workspace.

What you must submit as proof

This brief requires evidence an AI can’t fabricate.

  • Public share link to the AI chat where you had the layout critiqued

    Optional but rewarded: your live chat showing the 'picky manager' critique and what you applied.

    Public linkOptional

Submissions without this evidence cannot be submitted.

Protect other people in your proof. Blur faces, names, phone numbers and email addresses before you upload, and refer to anyone you worked with by role or number ("Listener 1", "the stall owner"). Your proof is only ever used to check your work — it is never published, never appears on your certificate, and is never shown in your public portfolio.

How your work is evaluated

The passing benchmark is 70/100.

Actually live

33%

The public link opens a working dashboard matching the screenshot.

Dashboard design

33%

Widgets are the right chart types, labelled, and ordered by importance.

Decision relevance

17%

The walkthrough names a real user and a real decision the dashboard serves.

Live, first-party dashboard

17%

The fetched public link must open the same working 4+ widget dashboard shown in the screenshot, built on the stated real data. A dead link, login wall, or a screenshot that does not match the live page is a fail.

How we grade your AI usage

30% of your score

Using AI is the point — it’s the skill this certificate proves. You’ll answer three short questions about how you used it: what you asked, what was wrong with its first answer, and what you changed. Specific, honest answers score high. “I pasted the brief and submitted the answer” scores near zero.
