Design action Place health state and key KPIs first, then anomaly lists and trend charts; alerts use semantic color plus icon and a clear next step.
Examples Positive example: Operations dashboards, sales dashboards, and project status pages. Counterexample: All metrics have identical size.
Apply when Operations dashboards, sales dashboards, and project status pages. Alerts and KPI changes exist.
