Tally — Founder dashboard

A clickable dashboard prototype — calm states, real data tables, and a flow built for testing.

04.A / Overview

Most early-stage dashboards are built by engineers solving for what's easy to query. Tally is built the other way around: from the questions a founder actually asks at 8am — are we growing, are we losing anyone, what changed yesterday, what needs me today.

Four KPI cards across the top, each with a sparkline and a real delta. Below them a tab strip — Today / Week / Month — that doesn't reload the page. Below that a table: the ten most recent events, sortable, with a calm empty state when there's nothing to read.

The prototype is clickable end-to-end. Filters work, the tabs swap content, the empty states are designed rather than skipped, and the loading skeletons match the final layout — no jump on settle.

Concept build — the studio is young; this case study shows the craft we'd bring to a real engagement.

04.B / Inside the work

The morning view.

Four KPIs, a tabbed table, and the sparklines that show the trend without shouting it.

04.C / Approach

Calm, real, testable.

01Questions, not charts

Each surface answers a question the founder asked out loud. Anything that doesn't, isn't on the screen.

02Empty states first

Designed empty, loading and error states before the happy path. The boring days are most of the days.

03Clickable, not pretty

The prototype walks through three real flows end-to-end. Stakeholders click — they don't squint at frames.

04.D / What it includes

Ready for user testing.

Screens18 hi-fi

Home, drill-downs, settings, and the three primary flows — designed at handoff fidelity.

Flows3 clickable

New signup, churn investigation, weekly digest. Each a real path through the prototype.

StatesEmpty · loading · error

Every surface, every state. Skeletons that match the final layout, no jump on settle.

HandoffTokens · specs

Design tokens, component variants, and per-screen redlines ready for engineering.
