General domain of usage  
Business intelligence dashboard visualization

The solution walkthrough for building the dashboard. Four focused pages – Overview, Performance, Margin, and Trends – each designed around a specific set of business questions from the brief. Here we create the Overview page, which keeps it simple: five KPI cards and a revenue trend line. The full Summit Gear design system from Section 5 is applied: charcoal header bar, light gray page background, and the rest of the Summit Gear custom theme.
