Don’t pivot to the loudest feedback.

You can’t please everyone all of the time. So don’t try.

One noisy stakeholder ≠ everyone.

You’re not in the room. But your dashboard is.

It’s either building your reputation - or wrecking it.

Wrong focus.

If your users don’t understand how to use the dashboard, they won’t give you USEFUL feedback.

👉 Teach. Don’t tweak.
