Static Reference Demo

Airline Operational Reliability Decision Review

A public-data Power BI reference demo scaffold showing how airline reliability data can move from decision context to source-aware actions, with semantic model proof and validation gates visible before any iframe is published.

Wireframe for a Power BI reference showcase page showing decision context, public source notes, report preview, technical proof, governance notes, and report flow pages.

Decision Required

Which routes, airports, or carriers need operational intervention to improve reliability without overreacting to low-volume noise?

The public page is intentionally static until the generated Power BI project starter is opened, refreshed, saved, and cleared for Publish to Web. The decision logic, source gate, semantic model scaffold, measures, validation rules, and report flow are documented first.

Public Source

U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics, Reporting Carrier On-Time Performance

The source gate approves an aggregated public demo only. Raw flight-detail tables, tail numbers, and flight numbers are excluded from the public model plan.

Decision Flow

From business question to governed action.

The report spec keeps the four-page flow tight: decision brief, drivers and segments, action queue, and model/governance appendix.

Business Questions

  • Which route and carrier combinations have weak reliability at meaningful volume?
  • Which delay cause categories explain the largest share of reported delay minutes?
  • Which issues should become action items versus monitoring-only signals?

Data-Driven Actions

  • Review high-volume routes with weak arrival on-time rate.
  • Investigate routes where cancellation rate exceeds the demo threshold.
  • Separate delay-cause patterns so action owners can focus on the right operational driver.

Technical Proof

  • Aggregated route/carrier/month model instead of raw public flight-detail exposure.
  • Generated semantic-model starter with fact tables, dimensions, relationships, and DAX measures.
  • Validation rules for grain integrity, referential integrity, and portfolio-safety checks.
  • Refresh and performance plan scoped around import mode and monthly aggregation.

Governance

Publish to Web remains gated.

This page is the static fallback. A live iframe should render only after the Desktop-refreshed report artifact, hidden fields, source notes, and route-scoped headers are verified.

The source gate approves an aggregated public demo, not raw flight-level publication.
Tail number and flight number are excluded from the public model plan.
Demo thresholds are illustrative and must not be framed as airline policy.
Publish to Web remains blocked until the Desktop-refreshed report artifact and route-scoped headers are verified.

Current Artifact

Static fallback first. Iframe only after approval.

The retained wireframe shows the intended page and report flow. The generated Power BI project starter now needs Desktop refresh, report page build, DAX validation, and screenshot export before any public iframe is considered.
