@shaan and Gauntlet team, congrats on launching this!
Here’s some initial feedback (some of which I shared during the User Study). I recognize that this is your first iteration, and that you will keep making improvements, so these are just high-level observations. Personally, I would consider the Risk Dashboard a success if a routine user, not well-versed in risk-management, can intuitively develop a “feel” for these metrics. So, my feedback is generally geared towards that.
-
Dashboard “Gauntlet Top Recommendations” section: Your recommendation is to increase the Collateral Factor for every asset therein listed. However, in the next section, Value At Risk (which I believe is at the overall System level) is shown to decrease. This is completely counterintuitive. I think there needs to be a good write-up (or links to documents) that explain this fully and intuitively. Also, if your recommendations aren’t causing the VAR to decrease, then what factors are causing the decrease?

Clicking through to asset-level page: Taking DAI as an example, Gauntlet isn’t recommending any changes to the Collateral Factor, Reserve Factor and Borrow Cap. Yet, there’s a change shown to occur to topline measures VAR and BU due to Gauntlet recommendations. This needs to be explained too.

Terminology cleanup: There’s usage of Aave terminology, including the words “LTV” and “Aave” (in help popup). Also, the word “throughput” isn’t explained anywhere including in the “Market Risk Assessment” document.
