the challenge
The app had every number and told you nothing. People stared at charts they could not read, had no idea what was costing them, and gave up before they ever changed a thing.

my approach
Cut the dashboard down to what people actually asked: what am I using, what is it costing, and what should I do about it. Plain summaries first, the deep charts a tap away for anyone who wants them.


the results
The best sign was people making small changes on their own, shifting the laundry, catching the one thing quietly running all night. Far more folks check in weekly now, and the charts nobody understood turned into a habit. One clear, readable view, and the guesswork finally gone.
