Data dashboard case study

Positive Grid Spark Sales Dashboard

A data dashboard tracking Positive Grid Spark amplifier preorder volume and estimated revenue.

This project started as a lightweight Python Dash app for monitoring public preorder metrics for the Positive Grid Spark amplifier. It combined a small data pipeline with an interactive Plotly dashboard to make the sales trend easier to inspect.

The app read a Google Sheet through a service-account credential, loaded the sales_totals worksheet, converted the counter fields into numeric values, and grouped observations by date. The dashboard then plotted daily totals and estimated sales revenue as an area chart.

It is a compact example of a useful analytics pattern: collect a product signal, preserve the historical readings, and build a focused interface for understanding demand over time. The version below keeps the same dataset visible with a modern interactive chart.
