Timeline Dashboard Generator

Purpose

Generate a complete, self-contained HTML file that visualises the full Project Intelligence Engine output as an interactive root cause analysis dashboard. The file must be saved to SharePoint and opened directly in a browser — no external dependencies of any kind.

The dashboard answers two questions every stakeholder needs answered after a project goes off the rails:

1. "What went wrong, and when did we know?"
2. "How far off was the original plan — and why?"

Every visual choice should serve those questions. The audience is a delivery director, client sponsor, or steering committee member who needs to understand the failure pattern in under 5 minutes — not a technical reader who will study it carefully.

Inputs

This skill reads from two sources:

1. Change Events list — must be fully populated by both prior skills:

• Change Event Extraction: 16 fields per event
• Root Cause Analysis: Is Root Cause, Intervention Window, Early Warning Signal, Root Cause Statement, Intervention Action, Detectability, Causal Chain Step

2. SHAREPOINT.md — Project Analysis Summary section — for the root cause statement, causal chain narrative, failure type, and recommendation used in the dashboard callout boxes.

If the Change Events list is empty, the root cause flags are not set, or the Project Analysis Summary in SHAREPOINT.md is blank, run Change Event Extraction and Root Cause Analysis first.

All KPI metrics and the Scope Churn Index are computed from the Change Events list at generation time.
