What have we been doing?
- A prototype dashboard was published on 28 September, inviting feedback on its usefulness, content, and whether it is easy to understand where progress needs to be made.
- Feedback channels used were Loomio, Government Data Ninjas, and email. The feedback period closed at the end of October and we received constructive feedback on both the content and its presentation.

What’s next?
