Congrats on a great submission.

I really like the where you’ve broken up your report into grids using rectangle shapes. This is something I like to do a lot and I think really makes your analysis stand out and makes it also easier on the consumer to navigate around your report.

Also really like how you’ve gone with the tab approach. So that the user can click through just like they would on a web browser. I think you can always take design inspiration from other technologies out there and why not when creating power BI reports just copy what has probably been tested billions of times by some of the largest companies in the world. So I’m not sure if you got inspiration from there but if you did well done for applying it quite effectively here.

Only simple improvement I would make here is just consistent color theme. I think it really breaks down when you have your donut chart series with a lot of variations. You have too many colors to fill in. So you want to try and find visuals where overall your color palette can still be simple and easy on the eye.

Nice one.
