What Changed

Section titled “What Changed”
  • Added focus as first field in both _DASHBOARD.md files (Business + MBR)
  • Sort changed from risk DESC to focus ASC across all 4 query tables

Key Decision

Section titled “Key Decision”

Prefixes required in Obsidian Bases — no formula/expression support in sort. Without 1_/2_ prefix, alphabetical sort gives wrong order. Dataview’s choice() expression could avoid this but Bases doesn’t support it.

Future Upgrade

Section titled “Future Upgrade”

Metadata Menu plugin can enforce dropdown validation for focus values (type: “Select” with fixed list). Currently using native Obsidian autocomplete (sufficient for 5-value vocabulary). Install Metadata Menu if invalid entries become a problem.
