Dashboard Overview

The SignalBreak dashboard provides at-a-glance visibility into your AI provider dependencies, risk exposure, and governance maturity. It's designed to answer three critical questions every time you log in:

What requires immediate attention? (Critical signals, high-risk exposures)
How healthy is my AI infrastructure? (Provider status, signal trends)
How mature is my governance posture? (Governance score, risk treatment)

Dashboard Layout

The dashboard is organized into four main sections:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

Dashboard Best Practices

Daily Review Routine (5 minutes)

Morning Dashboard Check:

Check Signals Widget — Any critical/warning signals overnight?
Check High-Risk Exposure — Any new systems at risk?
Scan Recent Signals — Anything affecting mission-critical workflows?

If all green: No action required. Continue with day. If amber/red: Follow scenario guidance above.

Weekly Dashboard Audit (15 minutes)

Every Monday morning:

Governance Score Trend — Did score improve/decline from last week?
Signal Volume Trend — Is signal volume increasing?
Risk Treatment Progress — Did treatment % improve?

Document Findings: Add notes to internal wiki or Slack channel.

Monthly Dashboard Export (30 minutes)

Last Friday of each month:

Screenshot Dashboard — Capture full dashboard state
Generate Evidence Pack — Go to Governance → Evidence Pack → Generate
Archive for Audit Trail — Save to compliance folder (ISO/NIST/EU audit prep)

Troubleshooting

Cause: No workflows configured.

Fix:

Go to Workflows → New Workflow
Create at least 1 workflow with provider binding
Return to dashboard (governance score will calculate)

Possible Causes:

Providers not monitored yet (first poll takes 5 minutes)
- Wait: 5 minutes after adding first provider
- Check: Providers page → Ensure providers marked "In Use"
No provider changes this week (normal during quiet periods)
- Expected behavior — Some weeks have no signals
- Check: Click "View All Signals" to see historical signals
Signal retention limit (Free plan: 7 days)
- Upgrade: Professional plan for 90-day history
- Contact: Support if missing recent signals

Cause: No AI systems with risk classifications.

Fix:

Go to AI Systems → Create/import AI systems
Classify systems by risk tier (EU AI Act)
Return to dashboard (exposure will calculate)

Alternative Cause: All systems are low-risk (good news!).

Issue: Dashboard Loads Slowly (>5 seconds)

Possible Causes:

Large workflow count (>100 workflows)
- Expected: Queries take longer with more data
- Workaround: Use direct page links (/workflows, /signals) instead of dashboard
Network latency
- Check: Internet connection speed
- Workaround: Refresh page (widgets load independently)
Database query timeout (rare)
- Contact: Support if persistent

Mobile Dashboard

Mobile Responsiveness

Layout: Dashboard automatically adapts for mobile screens:

Desktop: 4-column grid (Models | Workflows | Signals | Governance)
Tablet: 2-column grid (Models/Workflows top, Signals/Governance bottom)
Mobile: 1-column stack (all widgets vertical)

Optimizations:

Touch-friendly buttons (min 44px tap targets)
Collapsible widgets (expand/collapse on mobile)

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I check my dashboard?

Recommended: Daily (5-minute morning check)

Minimum: Weekly (15-minute Monday review)

Critical situations: After receiving critical signal email alert (immediate check)

Why is my governance score lower than expected?

Common reasons:

Low fallback coverage (<50% of mission-critical workflows have fallback)
High provider concentration (>60% workflows use single provider)
Untreated risks (>50% of identified risks have no treatment)
Recent critical signals (5+ critical signals in last 30 days)

Fix: Click Governance widget → Review scorecard recommendations → Address highest-impact controls.

Can I customize my dashboard layout?

Currently: No (fixed layout optimized for decision readiness)

Future: Yes (planned for Q2 2026—drag-and-drop, hide/show widgets)

What does "L3 - Defined" maturity mean?

L3 - Defined means you have documented governance processes in place:

✅ Workflows mapped to providers
✅ Some risk treatments assigned
✅ Basic monitoring established
⚠️ Not yet proactive (L4) or optimized (L5)

To reach L4: Improve fallback coverage, reduce provider concentration, treat all high-severity risks.

Why don't I see any High-Risk Exposure?

Possible reasons:

All systems are low-risk (good news!)
No AI systems configured (go to AI Systems → Create systems)
No signals affecting your providers (quiet week)

Check: Click High-Risk Exposure widget → If empty, system will explain why.
