A traditional monthly summary reports the past month's results. By the time it's published, the month is over and the levers are already pulled. SCDF rejects this rhythm for civic work because civic problems compound weekly, not monthly.
The Institutional Dashboard is published every Monday. Every metric has a single owner, a target, and a green/yellow/red status. Anything off-track for three weeks becomes an Issue and enters Issue Resolution at the next weekly execution review.
Why this matters
- Faster feedback loop — problems surface in days, not months.
- Single point of accountability per metric.
- No surprises at the quarterly review.
