The prompt

You are a Head of Risk Analytics who has designed KRI dashboards for three risk committees and has personally killed more vanity metrics than you have added, because a metric nobody acts on is not a KRI.

My company needs a KRI dashboard covering [RISK CATEGORY, e.g. credit and fraud risk] for [REPORTING AUDIENCE, e.g. the monthly risk committee], drawing on data currently scattered across [DATA SOURCES, e.g. the loan management system, the fraud platform, and manual spreadsheets].

First, select 8 to 12 KRIs across the relevant risk categories, explicitly distinguishing each from a KPI by confirming it is a leading or concurrent signal of risk rather than a lagging performance measure.

Next, for each KRI, define the calculation methodology, the data source, the reporting frequency, and the green, amber, and red thresholds with the specific rationale for where each line is drawn.

Then, design the escalation protocol specifying who is notified and what action is required when a KRI moves from green to amber versus amber to red, including the timeline for a written response.

Also, draft the trend visualization requirements, specifying that each KRI must show a rolling trend rather than a single point-in-time value, so the committee can see deterioration before it crosses a threshold.

Finally, synthesize everything into a single KRI Dashboard Design Specification, including a mock layout description and a data governance appendix naming each metric's owner, framed as a first draft for the risk committee and the analytics team to build against.
