project-dashboard

Progress tracking in qualitative research displays completion status across project stages using ASCII, JSON, or Markdown formats. The dashboard shows metrics like coded documents and written memos, helping you visualize where you stand within the sandwich methodology workflow.

Readiness checks automatically verify whether prerequisites are met before advancing stages. The tool evaluates completion criteria—such as finishing Stage 1 before transitioning to Stage 2—and flags whether you're prepared to proceed or what remains incomplete.

Generate a dashboard by running the script with your project path and desired format: `node skills/project-dashboard/scripts/generate-dashboard.js --project-path /path/to/project --format markdown`. Output displays stage progress, readiness status, and next-step recommendations in your chosen format.

Yes, the tool is built specifically for the sandwich methodology, supporting its three-stage structure with stage-specific progress computation, readiness validation, and recommendations aligned to transitioning between human-led, collaborative, and analysis phases.

The dashboard reads configuration and stage data from `.interpretive-orchestration/config.json` and related stage directories within your project root. It processes this structured metadata to compute progress metrics and generate consistent status reports.
