What problem does it solve? Teams tracking data readiness across sources, tables, and reports lack a single stage-centric view showing which of the seven readiness stages each item has reached, what evidence backs each gate, and who approved each advancement. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Seven-Stage Status Matrix: Renders one row per item across Source Ready through Publish Ready, copying each stage status verbatim from readiness-status.yaml without recomputation. - Navigable Evidence References: Displays each stage's evidence entries as committed file paths with line or section anchors, flagging missing evidence or absent referenced files. - Approvals Timeline: Shows recorded approvals chronologically and flags pass gates whose required named approver is not recorded. - Use Case: Ask which stage each table is at before a Power BI publish review, and get a read-only matrix plus the approval trail for every gate, with conflicts surfaced rather than resolved. ## Quick Start Show the readiness viewer with the stage matrix, evidence references, and approvals timeline for all onboarded items.
