Any handy feature/tool to see taxa breakup of all 'Needs ID' observations of a project?

To increase the RG% (percentage of research grade observations) for an upcoming project, I wanted to check if someone has built any tool which can be used to see breakup of ‘Needs ID’ observations.

I think it would be very useful to have a dashboard where identifiers can go and see where are most of the ‘Needs ID’ observations stuck currently. This way, we can see in real time the percentage of observations stuck at various levels, like - ‘Unknown’, ‘Kingdom - Plants’, ‘Kingdom - Fungi’, ‘Order - Arachnida’, etc.

If we have this, we can see where should IDers focus (in real time). If many observations are stuck at Unknown level, we can focus on that. Then if we see a lot of observations are stuck at two particular orders, IDers can focus on that.

Let me know if something like this is already there, or I would like to build something for this. I was thinking to use API calls to make searches like - all observations stuck at Kingdom level and or at phylum level and so on.

Projects can be used as filters.
Needs ID for mine
Then you can filter by whatever taxon and filter combo you wish

Yes, you can use the filters on Explore to add the name of your project. For example observations that need ID stuck at Kingdom for your Biodiversity of Hyderabad project: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?lrank=kingdom&project_id=biodiversity-of-hyderabad&quality_grade=needs_id&view=species
