What do the colors mean?
Indicators in each category will appear one of three colors: green (desirable trend), grey (neutral or no significant change), or red (undesirable trend). The dashboard will engender users to find opportunities for interventions and collective community action at each consecutive step to avoid further escalation of problematic trends and to encourage more protective activities.
