CanuckDUCK Community Dashboard Proposal

Purpose: Create a dynamic, real-time dashboard for each community that consolidates critical local metrics, including flyer suppression statistics, top civic concerns, engagement levels, and available community resources.

 

Dashboard Components:

  1. Flyer Suppression Overview
    • Total verified users in community
    • Number and percentage of users opting out of physical flyer delivery
    • Top suppressed advertisers (by volume)
    • Estimated environmental impact (e.g., trees saved, flyers reduced)
  2. Digital Flyer Hub
    • Hosted flyers from subscribed local businesses
    • Engagement metrics per flyer (clicks, feedback, shares)
    • Option to report flyers as spam or off-topic
  3. Civic Interests & Trends
    • Most discussed topics from Pond in this community (last 30 days)
    • Keywords heatmap (visualize common themes)
    • Cross-reference with Stature ID zones for context-aware relevance
  4. Surveys & Consensus Participation
    • Number of active surveys in the community
    • Voter turnout by postal zone (anonymized)
    • Average distance-to-issue calculation for each vote
  5. Business & Community Listings
    • List of verified local businesses (with postalCode reference)
    • Community associations and initiatives
    • Opt-in promotional space for community-focused programs
  6. Engagement Metrics
    • Forum activity levels
    • Response times to community threads
    • Number of unique Wisdom IDs participating per month
  7. Environment & Delivery Impact Visualization
    • Comparison of pre-CanuckDUCK vs. current flyer delivery volume
    • Charts showing monthly suppression trends

 

Access & Permissions:

  • Public view: all statistics shown in aggregated/anonymized form
  • Logged-in verified users: access to digital flyers, voting overlays
  • Admin view (Stature-bound): moderation, export, deeper analytics

 

Next Steps:

  1. Build a prototype dashboard template for one community (e.g., Kensington)
  2. Define API structure for retrieving flyer preferences and engagement data
  3. Link postalCode LDAP data to dashboard components
  4. Add metric storage and analytics tracking (e.g., Matomo integration)
  5. Create widget-ready modules for embedding on Communities pages

 

End Goal: Make each community's CanuckDUCK page a living snapshot of civic health and engagement — reducing waste, increasing relevance, and empowering citizens and businesses alike.
