DASHBOARD-005 - SAFECHAIN™ Publication Health Dashboard Framework™
Framework Reference: DASHBOARD-005
Series: Portfolio Management Series
Classification: Enterprise Governance and Portfolio Monitoring Framework
Owner: SAFECHAIN™
Version: 1.0
Executive Summary
The SAFECHAIN™ Publication Health Dashboard Framework™ establishes the methodology for monitoring the completeness, readiness and governance status of every publication within the SAFECHAIN™ portfolio.
As the SAFECHAIN™ Governance Ecosystem™ expands, publication records must remain accurate, complete and ready for publication, review or implementation. A growing portfolio creates a risk that frameworks may appear complete while still missing essential components such as copyright notices, search-engine metadata, review dates, publication ownership information or final approval.
The Publication Health Dashboard provides a visual, status-based monitoring system that automatically identifies incomplete publication records and prioritises corrective action.
Each publication is assigned a health status using a standard colour-coded classification:
🟢 Published
🟡 Needs SEO
🟠 Needs Copyright
🔴 Missing Metadata
⚫ Missing Review
This allows the portfolio owner to identify publication gaps immediately and prevents incomplete or ungoverned publications from being released, promoted or relied upon.
The dashboard integrates with the SAFECHAIN™ Master Publication Register, Publication Series Registers, Duplicate Validation worksheet, Dependency Matrix, Cross-Reference Matrix and Publication Roadmap.

No review date exists;
The next-review date is overdue;
No review owner is assigned; or
The publication has never undergone governance review.
10. Review Status Controls
The dashboard shall distinguish between:

11. Publication Readiness Score
In addition to the health classification, each publication may receive a readiness score.
