A creator ops dashboard is a decision surface, not a wallpaper of charts. If you cannot say what you will do when a number moves, remove the number.

Four tiles that earn their space

Baselines beat raw counts

2,000 viewers means nothing without the usual range for that creator and timeslot. Compute a rolling median from previous sessions and show deviation, not vanity totals.

Stale data is a bug

If events stop, the dashboard must look broken on purpose: a red last-seen timer beats a frozen pretty chart that implies the room is still live.

Role-specific views

The person on camera needs gifts and comments. The producer needs connection and queue. One layout for both roles produces ignored panels.

End of session

Lock the dashboard into a recap mode: peak viewers, top gifters, disconnect count. That recap is the only slide most clients will read.
