The dashboard answers one question: where is my organisation out of compliance right now?
The PolicyCodex dashboard with stat tiles, violations by domain, and the violations table

The tiles

Open blocking

Unresolved violations of enforced MUST statements. Each of these is failing a check somewhere. This is the number to drive to zero.

Open warnings

Unresolved SHOULD-level findings. Advisory — nothing is blocked, but a rising number means a standard is being routinely ignored.

Enforced statements

How many requirements are currently blocking. The size of your active rulebook.

Architecture domains governed

How many domains have standards in force — your coverage across subject areas.

Open violations by domain

Blocking and warning counts per domain, on a shared scale. Read it for shape, not totals. One domain carrying every blocking violation usually means one of two things: a standard was promoted to enforced before the codebase was ready, or a single statement is over-broad and firing on everything. Both are fixable at the RFC, and both are cheaper to fix there than to grind out across every team.

The violations table

Every recorded violation, newest first: Because slugs are stable, this history stays coherent across RFC rewrites — a violation from six months ago still resolves to the statement it cited.

Recent activity

Below the table is a feed of recent governance activity — approvals, promotions, extractions.
The recent activity feed at the bottom of the dashboard
This is a readable view of the same events the audit trail records formally. Use the dashboard feed to keep half an eye on what’s changing; use Settings → Audit when you need the verifiable record.

Working the numbers

1

Blocking first

Open blocking violations are actively costing engineering time. Either fix the code or — if the standard is wrong — revise the RFC.
2

Look for concentration

A single statement producing most findings is a signal about the statement, not the teams.
3

Check coverage

A low violation count with only one repository reporting is not compliance. See Coverage.
4

Then promote

Once a domain’s warnings are manageable, that domain’s approved RFCs are ready for enforced.
