dashfog

/ˈdæʃˌfɒɡ/nounVerified New

The state in which a workplace has so many dashboards and metrics that no one can say whether things are going well.

Forty charts update hourly; eleven are stale, six contradict, and the three that matter have no owner. Dashfog is not an absence of data but a surplus of it — the fog is made of the numbers.

Etym. — dashboard + fog: visibility reduced by the instruments meant to provide it.

Rel. — gridocracy
