Cross-Workspace Close Dashboard

Install this skill.

Portfolio-level executive dashboard that rolls up close progress across multiple Numeric workspaces — completion rates, overdue counts, reviewer bottlenecks, and prioritized action items side-by-side. For CFOs, controllers, or close managers overseeing multiple entities.

Before You Begin

Use this skill when: you oversee 2+ entities and want a comparative rolled-up view. Use Close Pulse instead when: you want a deep operational view of a single workspace.

  • Numeric MCP connected.
  • Numeric Toolkit installed.
  • Access to 2+ workspaces (use Close Pulse for single-workspace views).
  • A close period that exists in each target workspace (flexible month/year matching handles slug differences).

How It Works

  1. Ask Claude for a portfolio view. Example prompts:
    • "Cross-workspace close dashboard for March."
    • "Which entities are behind?"
    • "CFO dashboard across all workspaces."
  2. Claude lists all accessible workspaces — you multi-select which to include and Claude resolves the period per workspace (flexible month/year matching).
  3. Claude launches parallel sub-agents — one per workspace — to pull tasks, assignees, and statuses in parallel. Claude aggregates portfolio totals, per-entity rollups, assignee concentration, overdue list.
  4. Claude generates two deliverables: an HTML dashboard and a companion Excel workbook.

What You Get

HTML dashboard (Numeric's brand palette — violet, Inter font, light lavender cards):

  • KPI cards: completion %, overdue count, active entities, rec status, JE status
  • Entity completion bars ranked by progress
  • Donut chart + task mix breakdown (recs / JEs / custom / flux)
  • Preparer workload and reviewer concentration risk
  • 8–10 prioritized action items with named owners and specific math ("Rene owns 62 tasks across 2 entities; engage or redistribute")
  • Deadline timeline: overdue → next 3 days → rec wave

Excel workbook with the granular detail behind the dashboard:

Tab Content
Executive Summary
KPIs + entity table + preparer table
Action Items
Priority-ranked list with detail columns
Overdue Tasks
Full list sorted by days-late descending
Entity Status
All workspaces with task counts and statuses
Per-entity (one tab each)
Assignee breakdown + task type mix

Troubleshooting

Issue What to Check
A workspace returns 0 tasks
Skill falls back to per-type queries (rec, checklist, JE, flux). Verify the fallback actually ran.
Wrong workspace routed
set_workspace can mis-route. The skill verifies the returned workspace name vs expected and flags discrepancies.
Period slug mismatch across entities
Some use mar-2026, others 2026-03. The skill matches flexibly by month/year.
Action items look generic
Regenerate — they should name a person, cite counts, and include specific math.
Missing entities in portfolio totals
Confirm the workspace was in the selected list and that it has a period matching the target month.

FAQ

  • Can I filter workspaces by keyword? Yes — "all Connect workspaces" or multi-select from the list.
  • Custom dashboard colors? Default is Numeric brand palette. Ask Claude to edit the skill to change colors.
  • How many workspaces can it handle? Tested with 10+; sub-agents parallelize data pulls.
  • Single-workspace deep view? Use Close Pulse instead — purpose-built for that.
