Dashboard Pages — Detailed Walkthrough
1. Overview Page
The Overview page displays 5 KPI cards alongside 4 chart visuals that give platform operators an instant read on session and revenue health. The Completion Rate gauge shows what percentage of booked sessions reached completion. Total Sessions by Session Status breaks down volume across Completed, Cancelled, and In Progress states. Total Revenue by Month Name reveals seasonal revenue patterns over time. Total Revenue and Total Mentor Earnings by Platform compares platform-level revenue and payout side by side so operators can quickly assess margin at the platform level.
2. Platform Insights
The Platform Insights page drills into platform-level performance across subscription and service dimensions. Total Revenue by Subscription Plan reveals which pricing tiers generate the most income. Cancellation Rate by Platform identifies which platforms have the highest churn risk in booked sessions. Total Sessions by Platform shows absolute session volume by platform, allowing direct comparison of activity levels across different marketplace channels or service lines.
3. Mentor Analytics
The Mentor Analytics page evaluates mentor performance and earnings stratified by experience level and session type. Avg Revenue Per Session by Mentor Level shows how per-session yield differs between junior, mid-level, and senior mentors — a critical input for pricing and mentor incentive decisions. Total Mentor Earnings by Mentor Level compares total payout obligations by tier. Total Revenue by Session Type breaks revenue across session formats such as one-on-one coaching, group sessions, and workshop formats.
4. Mentee Profile
The Mentee Profile page focuses on the demand side of the platform — who is booking sessions and how well their goals are being met. Avg Goal Achievement by Mentee Career Stage shows whether early-career, mid-career, or senior-level mentees are reaching their stated development goals. Total Sessions by Mentee Career Stage reveals where session volume concentrates across career stages. Completion Rate by Industry shows which sectors have the highest and lowest session completion rates, helping operators prioritize engagement support by industry.
5. Geo Trend
The Geo Trend page maps revenue and session activity across time and geography. Total Revenue by Year shows multi-year revenue growth curves for investor and leadership reporting. Total Revenue by Region identifies the geographic markets where the platform generates the most income. Total Sessions by Month Name surfaces seasonality patterns that can inform staffing, mentor availability, and marketing calendar decisions throughout the year.
