📊 DASHBOARD & REPORTING
The executive dashboard visualizes recycled content versus targets, internal compliance-status mix, DfR scores and task progress by workstream.
Formula-driven KPIs cover all 30 prepared records (15 illustrative examples plus 15 blank input rows).
The SKU-level charts use a rolling 15-entry view, so a newly entered 16th SKU can appear in the charts while summary indicators reflect the complete prepared area.
Workstream and status aggregations include the expanded input ranges.
The values are internal planning indicators, not certified compliance determinations.
📁 CSV DATA PREPARATION PACK
A separate six-sheet Excel staging workbook and three CSV sample files cover materials, packaging BOM records and recycled-content target fields.
The CSV pack supports controlled preparation and manual transfer of data. It is not a live import connector, automatic synchronization service or external database integration.
