A dashboard nobody checks isn't a feature. We rebuilt analytics around the one question teachers actually ask each morning.
Early on, our class analytics dashboard looked like every other one: a wall of charts, exportable to CSV, technically comprehensive. Usage data told a different story — most teachers opened it once and never came back.
One question, answered first
We talked to two dozen teachers and heard some version of the same question every time: 'who needs help before the next test, and with what, specifically?' So that's the first thing the dashboard answers now — everything else is one click deeper, not the default view.
It sounds like a small reframe. In practice it meant deleting about a third of the original dashboard.
