[10k]: Simpler Metric Dashboard Discovery

[sumiat]

Definition

The Simpler Metric Dashboard will be a user-focused designed dashboard that provides the public with transparent access to key metics, data, and information that matter to the end users. To ensure that we create a dashboard that provides value to our users, we aim to do some discovery to understand what information is most instructive to our public users coming to the simpler.grants.gov site. We ultimately aim to provide meaningful insights and data that are relevant to our users.

Business Goals

In scope
