How much does it cost to build a dashboard or indicators system?

This is a common question. The direct answer: there is no fixed cost. It depends on data complexity, integrations and business needs.

Many companies have data, but not structure. Without structured data, dashboards become unused reports.

Why this happens / what to assess

The main cost factor is not the tool, but data organization. Evaluate:

• Where data is stored
• Data consistency
• Relevant indicators
• System integration level
