Most reporting problems are not analysis problems. The numbers exist; they are just in four systems, and somebody spends Monday morning copying them into a spreadsheet so a meeting can happen.
A dashboard is worth building when that assembly is repetitive and the decisions depend on it being current. If the report is genuinely one-off, a spreadsheet is faster.
The failure mode of dashboards is showing thirty things equally. Whatever needs attention should read first and differently - state as colour and shape, not just a number - and everything else should recede.
Custom software starts at A$1,500 for a single tool. The cost driver is the number of systems being read from, not the number of charts.
If your data is already in one warehouse and those tools fit, use them. A custom dashboard earns its place when the data is scattered across systems that do not share a model.
As current as the sources allow. Some APIs are real-time, some are hourly, some are a nightly export - we will tell you which yours is before building.
Yes, and often that is better - a dashboard nobody opens is worse than a short weekly summary that lands in an inbox.
