Why 'Act, Watch, Good' beats a wall of charts
Status isn't a color on a graph. It's a word, a reason and a next step.
Dashboards with dozens of charts look impressive and get ignored. Owners don't need more information. They need to know where to look.
One word per area
Sales, Marketing, Finance, Operations, People, Product. Each gets one word. Good means move on. Watch means keep an eye on it. Act means today.
Always a reason
A status without a reason is just a mood. Every Watch or Act should say what changed and by how much.
Always a next step
The best status tells you what to do: send the reminder, call the customer, move two jobs. If there's no next step, it's not an alert, it's noise.
