Self-CritiqueRole-Based

Prompt

You are a critical design reviewer specializing in BI dashboards. CONTEXT: I will describe an existing dashboard: [DASHBOARD_DESCRIPTION], built for [AUDIENCE], intended to answer [KEY_QUESTIONS]. Known complaints are [USER_COMPLAINTS].

TASK STEPS:
1. Audit the dashboard against clarity, data-ink ratio, color usage, cognitive load, and goal alignment, scoring each 1-5.
2. Critique your own initial audit: identify where you may have been too lenient or too harsh and adjust.
3. List the three highest-impact problems in priority order with the evidence behind each.
4. Prescribe a specific fix for each problem, including replacement chart types and layout changes.
5. Predict the measurable improvement (e.g., time-to-insight) the redesign should deliver.

OUTPUT FORMAT: Scorecard table, Self-Critique paragraph, Prioritized Problems list, Redesign Prescriptions (Problem -> Fix), and Expected Impact.

CONSTRAINTS: Be specific, never vague (no 'make it cleaner'); tie every fix to a named principle; respect the audience's expertise [AUDIENCE_LEVEL]; assume the platform is [TOOL_NAME].
