An MVP Dashboard for Income Report Case Workers

Steady’s management portal is the internal tool used by the case workers and programme managers who review income reports submitted through the Income Passport. When a gig worker submits their income verification, it enters a queue — and someone on the Steady team has to review it, validate it, and process it.

The existing process was fragmented. Case workers were navigating between multiple screens and tools to complete what should have been a straightforward review workflow. We redesigned the full portal.

An MVP Dashboard for Income Report Case Workers

Two users with different jobs, one shared interface

The portal had to serve two roles with genuinely different needs — and getting the balance right was the central design challenge:

Case workers review individual income reports. Their primary need is an efficient queue they can move through quickly and accurately — open a report, review the income data, validate it, mark it complete or flag it for follow-up. Speed and clarity matter because they’re doing this repeatedly throughout the day.

Programme managers need aggregate visibility — not the detail of individual reports, but an overview of how the team is performing. How many reports are pending, how many processed, where are bottlenecks forming, which case workers need support. They’re managing throughput rather than doing the reviews themselves.

The tension: the same interface needs to support both heads-down individual review work and the oversight perspective of a manager. We ran interviews with both roles before designing anything, and the personas that came out shaped every layout decision.

What we designed

Customisable dashboard

The dashboard serves both user types through customisation — case workers configure it to show their personal queue and pending items; managers configure it to show team throughput, queue depth, and workload distribution. Neither has to work around the other’s view.

The dashboard surfaces:

  • Personal queue sorted by priority and age
  • Programme-level metrics for managers: total reports in queue, processed today, average processing time
  • Alerts for reports that have been waiting too long or flagged items unresolved

Redesigned income report format

The income report format case workers review was restructured around how they actually move through a review — not how the data was stored in the system:

  • Income sources grouped logically — related earnings presented together rather than in database entry order
  • Verification indicators showing each data point’s confirmation status at a glance
  • Inline flagging and notes visible to other reviewers without requiring an external tool or email thread

Role management

The portal serves multiple programmes with different data access requirements. We designed a role management system giving administrators control over which case workers access which programme’s reports, what level of data each user can see, and manager vs. case worker permissions within each programme.

An MVP delivered for development

This was an MVP engagement. We delivered the complete design, Figma handoff documentation, and design system for the development team to build from. The product was at an early stage and we departed before it was deployed to users. The design gave the engineering team a well-documented, complete foundation — rather than the common alternative where development starts from sketches and design decisions get made during implementation.

Reviews

Deep in the trenches with our partners.

★★★★★

I had the pleasure of working with Gytis for a long time, and he has consistently been one of the most thoughtful and dependable product designers I’ve worked with.

Gytis thinks deeply about the product, the user, and the business context behind every design decision. He is very strong at turning ambiguous ideas into clear, polished, usable experiences, and he brings a high level of taste and discipline to the work.

Gytis is someone I could trust with important product problems. He communicates clearly, takes feedback well, and has a calm, mature way of moving projects forward even when the direction is still evolving. That combination of creativity, judgment, and ownership made him a real partner to the product team!
