1. Set the geographic boundary before reading the numbers
A dashboard can only answer a local question when the question has a clear geographic definition. Hamburg and Livingston County are not interchangeable, and neither is the same as Michigan as a whole. Bosseo’s public description refers to tracked service-and-city targets and city data. That makes the first review question practical: will your firm distinguish Hamburg from countywide, metropolitan or statewide activity, rather than combining them into one local total?
Recommended approach
Ask to see the proposed location labels, target definitions and reporting filters. Decide whether a Hamburg view should stand alone, sit beside a Livingston County view, or be compared with broader Michigan coverage. Do not approve a local KPI until the geographic scope is written in plain language.
