— For BI teams

Most dashboards get built,
shipped, and ignored.
DashExplain fixes the loop.

A Chrome extension that helps analysts read any dashboard, and a web app that helps teams build dashboards stakeholders will actually use.

§ 02 · The loop

Builders ship dashboards in isolation.
Viewers consume them in isolation.
The feedback loop is broken.

Every dashboard goes through a cycle: built, published, glanced at, misunderstood, distrusted, replaced. DashExplain closes that loop on both sides — so viewers actually understand what they're looking at, and builders actually hear what's working.

§ 03 · Viewer mode
For people who read dashboards

Open any dashboard.
Read it like an analyst.

Viewer mode is a Chrome extension that sits on top of your existing BI tools. Open a dashboard, click the extension, and DashExplain explains what you're looking at — calling out what's working, what's misleading, and what questions you should ask.

  • 01The real storyDashExplain reads the visible dashboard and tells you the headline insight — not just what the chart shows, but what it means for your decisions.
  • 02Questions to askFive questions tailored to your role that the dashboard is hinting at but not answering. You bring them to the next meeting.
  • 03Anomaly calloutsWhen something looks off — a metric way outside its band, a missing dimension, a suspicious zero — DashExplain surfaces it before you miss it.

§ 04 · Builder mode
For people who build dashboards

Plan it. Build it.
Ship it without doubt.

Builder mode is the workflow layer for BI creators. Plan dashboards against the personas who'll use them, get formula help across every major tool, and pressure-test your work before stakeholders ever see it.

  • 01PlanWireframe against personas. Run schema checks (Salesforce in v1). Get stakeholder signoff before you spend hours building the wrong thing.
  • 02BuildFormula help for DAX, Tableau calcs, SQL, and Salesforce — describe what you need, get the formula plus an explanation of how it works.
  • 03ReviewPersona critique catches conflicts before launch. Share-link approvals capture stakeholder feedback. Versions tracked. Trust earned.

§ 05 · Workflow

Works with the tools
you already use.

No integrations to set up. No data leaves your screen. DashExplain reads what's visible in your browser the same way you do — through the Chrome extension. Your IT team doesn't need to approve anything.

§ 06 · Data handling

Your data,
your boundary.

You decide where your data lives, how long it stays, and who gets to see it. DashExplain doesn't connect to your databases, doesn't sync your records, and doesn't train on your dashboards. The extension processes what you see, when you ask — and stops there.

  • 01
    No credentials, no connectionsWe don't ask for database passwords, API keys, or OAuth tokens to your BI tools. The extension sees what you see, when you ask. Nothing more.
  • 02
    Regional by designChoose US or EU when you create your workspace. Your data — screenshots, Explanations, definitions, audit history — stays in that region, end to end. No cross-region replication, no quiet failover.
  • 03
    Tenant isolation by defaultEvery workspace runs in its own sealed environment. Data from one workspace cannot reach another — not through queries, not through cache, not through shared infrastructure.
  • 04
    Your data, your controlsSave everything, save text only, or save nothing — per workspace or per session. Delete any record at any time, and we mean it: instant from active storage, within 30 days from backups.
  • 05
    Never used for trainingYour screenshots and analysis sessions are processed under our AI provider's commercial terms, which exclude all customer data from model training.
  • 06
    Encrypted everywhereTLS 1.3 in transit. AES-256 at rest. Keys managed by your region's cloud provider. No third-party analytics, marketing pixels, or trackers touch your dashboard content.
