Show the thinking behind your work.DASHBOARD PREFLIGHT · FROM THE ACCIDENTAL ANALYST
Your dashboard should make you look prepared.
Not leave people guessing.
You have already done the hard work. Dashboard Preflight helps your work land: clearer charts, fewer executive questions about what the numbers mean, and more confidence before you hit Share.
A second set of eyes that's on your side. Not a critic of your work.
Made for analysts, BI leaders, and anyone whose name is on the dashboard. No free audits or trial usage.
FROM THE ACCIDENTAL ANALYSTCREATED BY STEPHEN McDANIELPOWERED BY THE 77 RULES METHODOLOGY
THE MOMENT BEFORE YOU SHARE
You want people discussing the decision.
Not debating the dashboard.
The stakes aren't whether a chart is “good” or “bad.” It's whether the CFO, VP, or team leader sees what you intended—and understands what to do next. Preflight helps you close that gap without second-guessing your expertise.
WHAT CHANGES FOR YOU
Your work deserves to land well.
Not another checklist to make you feel wrong. A practical way to make your strongest work easier to understand.
Help executives see the point faster.
Make your main message easier to find. Reduce ambiguous labels, unclear comparisons, and avoidable misunderstandings that derail a meeting.
Less decoding. More deciding.Catch the awkward question early.
Spot potential visual or interpretive concerns before a leader asks them out loud. Address what you can, and know what needs a data-team confirmation.
Fewer surprises when it counts.Improve the few things that matter.
Focus attention on consequential revisions rather than reworking everything. Keep your existing tools and spend your time sharpening the message.
More progress, less polishing for its own sake.YOUR NEW BEFORE-YOU-SHARE HABIT
Build it. Preflight it. Present it.
Keep ownership of the work. Get a useful second opinion before the decision-makers see it.
Preflight reviews what can be evaluated from your dashboard image and supplied context. It cannot independently verify source calculations, underlying data, or business definitions.
- 01
Bring the dashboard you're about to share.
Use the work you already created—no need to rebuild it in another tool.
- 02
See what could confuse an executive.
Understand what deserves attention and why it might affect a decision.
- 03
Make improvements, then verify the fixes.
See whether your revisions address the concerns before the meeting.
THE IMPROVEMENT LOOP
It doesn't grade you.
It helps you make the next version better.
Preflight is a review of a particular dashboard—not a judgment of the analyst. You make the decisions, choose which changes matter, and remain in control.

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED
Straight answers.
No surprise free-tier pitch. No implication that a score can prove your data is correct.
Will this tell me my dashboard is bad?
No. Dashboard Preflight is designed to help you improve a specific work product. It highlights what could confuse a reader or affect a decision. The goal is a stronger presentation, not criticism of the person who built it.
Does Preflight replace checking my data?
No. It can flag visible problems and potential interpretive risks, but it cannot independently verify underlying source data, calculations, or business definitions. Where a concern requires more context, you and your data team remain the final authority.
Which dashboard tools can I use?
You can present a dashboard image created in Power BI, Tableau, Excel, Claude, another BI tool, or your own application. You do not have to rebuild it inside Preflight.
Is there a free version or trial?
No. There are no free dashboard reviews or trial usage. You can learn what the product does from demonstrations on The Accidental Analyst, LinkedIn, and YouTube before purchasing.
What does the team plan share?
A pooled monthly allocation across up to 10 authorized users. Team is 35 preflights monthly; Team Plus is 60. These plans are billed annually.
What happens to my dashboard image?
77 Rules does not store your dashboards. Images are deleted from our systems after scoring.
