A "single source of truth" is a phrase everyone uses and almost nobody has. Usually there are three spreadsheets, two of which are stale, and a dashboard pulling from whichever one someone remembered to update last.
Fixing that isn't a bigger dashboard, it's deciding, on paper, which system owns which number, and building everything else to reference it instead of duplicating it.

Hello.
I guess we're in the same page about data analysis and visualization
Everyone thinks a data dashboard should look complicated.
I think that is exactly why most of them fail.
I just finished Helios, a tool that tracks solar energy assets in real time. Dozens of sites, live output, verification records, a wall of numbers. The kind of screen people drown in.
Most designers would make it feel technical. More lines, more glow, more charts. I did the opposite. Every number had to answer one question in half a second, is this good or is this a problem. If it could not, it lost its place.
Because design is not decoration, it is closer to math. It is deciding what to remove until only the truth is left.
Complexity was never the enemy. Confusion is.
Get that right, and people trust you before you have said a word.
These components are perfectly executed, and the background is perfect for them.
