[Verse 1] Sarah sits in boardroom leather, quarterly reports in hand Needs to glimpse the forest canopy, not every grain of sand Revenue trends and customer churn, painted broad and clean While Marcus runs the server farm, monitors every screen [Chorus] Executive eyes see mountains, operational minds see trees Dashboard split the difference, serving different needs High-level summaries for suits, detailed drills for boots Same data, different lenses, same truth, different routes [Verse 2] Thirty thousand feet perspective wants the vital signs Green or red, up or down, crossing threshold lines But down below in trenches deep, where systems breathe and fail Every metric matters more, every spike tells a tale [Chorus] Executive eyes see mountains, operational minds see trees Dashboard split the difference, serving different needs High-level summaries for suits, detailed drills for boots Same data, different lenses, same truth, different routes [Bridge] Drill-down menus bridge the gap Click to zoom from map to trap Alerts that bubble up the chain Keep both worlds inside one frame [Verse 3] Color-code the danger zones, make exceptions pop Real-time feeds for firefights, weekly rolls for top Filter noise from signal gold, context shapes the view Same database underneath, but stories told are new [Chorus] Executive eyes see mountains, operational minds see trees Dashboard split the difference, serving different needs High-level summaries for suits, detailed drills for boots Same data, different lenses, same truth, different routes [Outro] Know your audience, know their pain Design the window, frame the brain Dashboard wisdom, crystal clear Show what matters, hide the gear
