Document User Validation Stage in BID Framework
bid_validate.RdThis function documents the validation stage, where the user tests and refines the dashboard. It represents stage 5 in the BID framework.
Usage
bid_validate(
previous_stage,
summary_panel = NULL,
collaboration = NULL,
next_steps = NULL,
include_exp_design = TRUE,
include_telemetry = TRUE,
telemetry_refs = NULL,
include_empower_tools = TRUE,
quiet = NULL
)Arguments
- previous_stage
A tibble or list output from an earlier BID stage function.
- summary_panel
A character string describing the final summary panel or key insight presentation.
- collaboration
A character string describing how the dashboard enables collaboration and sharing.
- next_steps
A character vector or string describing recommended next steps for implementation and iteration.
- include_exp_design
Logical indicating whether to include experiment design suggestions. Default is TRUE.
- include_telemetry
Logical indicating whether to include telemetry tracking and monitoring suggestions. Default is TRUE.
- telemetry_refs
Optional character vector or named list specifying specific telemetry reference points to include in validation steps. If provided, these will be integrated into the telemetry tracking recommendations with provenance information.
- include_empower_tools
Logical indicating whether to include context-aware empowerment tool suggestions. Default is TRUE.
- quiet
Logical indicating whether to suppress informational messages. If NULL, uses getOption("bidux.quiet", FALSE).
Examples
validate_result <- bid_interpret(
central_question = "How can we improve delivery efficiency?",
data_story = list(
hook = "Too many delays",
context = "Excessive shipments",
tension = "User frustration",
resolution = "Increase delivery channels"
)
) |>
bid_notice(
problem = "Issue with dropdown menus",
evidence = "User testing indicated delays"
) |>
bid_anticipate(
bias_mitigations = list(
anchoring = "Provide reference points",
framing = "Use gain-framed messaging"
)
) |>

include_empower_tools = TRUE
)
#> Stage 1 (Interpret) completed.
#> - Central question: How can we improve delivery efficiency?
#> - Your data story has all key elements. Focus on making each component compelling and relevant.
#> - Your central question is appropriately scoped.
#> - No user personas defined
#> Auto-suggested theory: Hick's Law (confidence: 90%)
#> Stage 2 (Notice) completed. (40% complete)
#> - Problem: Issue with dropdown menus
#> - Theory: Hick's Law (auto-suggested)
#> - Evidence: User testing indicated delays
#> - Theory confidence: 90%
#> - Next: Use bid_anticipate() for Stage 3
#> Added accessibility mitigation based on layout context.
#> Found partial match: Anchoring Effect
#> Found partial match: Framing & Loss Aversion
#> Found partial match: Accessibility Contrast
#> Stage 3 (Anticipate) completed.
#> - Bias mitigations: 3 defined
#> - Accessibility considerations included
#> - Key suggestions: Anchoring mitigation: Always show reference points like previous period, budget, or industry average, Framing mitigation: Toggle between progress (65% complete) and gap (35% remaining) framing, Accessibility mitigation: Test color combinations with WebAIM's contrast checker to meet WCAG standards
#> ℹ Auto-selected layout: breathable
#> ℹ Selected 'breathable' as safe default to ensure clean, uncluttered layout.
#> Warning: Layout auto-selection is deprecated and will be removed in bidux 0.4.0. The BID framework will focus on concept-based suggestions instead. Existing code will continue to work until 0.4.0.
#> ℹ Tip: Learn more about any concept via bid_concept("<concept>").
#> Stage 4 (Structure) completed.
#> - Auto-selected layout: breathable
#> - Concept groups generated: 3
#> - Total concepts: 3
#> ℹ Suggested summary panel: Dashboard provides clear summary of key insights with actionable recommendations
#> ℹ Suggested collaboration features: Enable team sharing and collaborative decision-making features
#> ℹ Suggested next steps:
#> • Conduct user testing with target audience to validate design decisions
#> • Implement the structured layout with proper visual hierarchy
#> • Test accessibility features across different devices and assistive
#> technologies
#> • Implement telemetry tracking for user interactions and pain points
#> • Set up monitoring dashboards to track key performance indicators
#> • Plan post-launch telemetry analysis to validate design improvements
#> • Document successful patterns and lessons learned for future projects
#> • Plan iterative improvements based on user feedback and analytics
#> Stage 5 (Validate) completed.
#> - Summary panel: Dashboard provides clear summary of key insight...
#> - Collaboration: Enable team sharing and collaborative decision-...
#> - Next steps: 8 items defined
#> - Consider adding user empowerment tools to enhance collaboration
