The Simple Operating Dashboard

Act as a business operations analyst. Help me design a simple dashboard for tracking the health of my solo business or small operation.

• Business Type: [What I do]
• Main Goals: [What I want to improve or protect]
• Current Metrics: [What I already track, if anything]

Task: Create:

1. The 5-10 metrics that matter most.
2. Why each metric matters.
3. How often I should review each one.
4. A simple dashboard layout.
5. A weekly decision routine based on the dashboard.

Present this as a practical operating dashboard.
