How do I build a dashboard people actually use? Start here
What you'll be able to do by the end, the clinic you'll practice with, and how your Maestro helps along the way.
Free course. Your Maestro, an AI, .
A dashboard is only worth something when someone opens it to make a decision. In this course you build one that gets opened every week: you design it for one person and one decision, you define every number so there's only ever one version of it, you build it yourself and, if you want, you have Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot build it from instructions that leave nothing to chance.
The clinic you'll work with
You'll practice with a single story from start to finish. Clínica Alba has three sites in Puebla, Mexico (Centro, Angelópolis and Cholula) and three specialties: general medicine, pediatrics and nutrition. Lucía runs operations. Every Monday she decides which site gets the team that calls patients to confirm their appointments, and whether to open extra slots on any schedule. She needs a dashboard for that.
The clinic, Lucía and her numbers are made up. They're synthetic data covering 13 weeks, from June 29 to September 27, 2026, built so the cases that trip people up in real life show up: a small site with a big problem, two ways of counting who didn't show, and an average that misleads.
How the course is laid out
Who it's for and why
Who opens the dashboard, how often, what they decide with it, and the three to five numbers that help them decide.
Numbers that mean one thing
The definition sheet for each KPI: what you count, what you divide by, what a single unit is, and which period. Why you never average averages, and what you compare each number against.
From number to screen
One chart per question, and the order the screen reads in. You fix a badly built dashboard and build your own with the clinic's data.
Ask your AI
A brief you copy and fill in for Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot, how to check each number before you share it, and a checklist for reviewing what comes back.
Every page has something for you to do: a question you answer before you read the explanation, a chart you fix, or a dashboard you build in the browser, with nothing to install. The whole course takes an hour to an hour and a half.
You can read every page without an account. With a free account you can run the exercises and ask your Maestro, who knows every page and can help with your own case. If you already have a dashboard nobody opens, tell your Maestro about it now.
