Spanish term or phrase: Panel de semáforos
Para este término y posiblemente este contexto he visto en proz., algunas alternativas, mi propia idea sería "traffic-light", pero no se si esto sería apropiado. En este contexto:

"Panel de semáforos: se mostrará una matriz de las N categorías de productos por las 4 variables: sales, price, distribution and FSS. En cada elemento de la matriz se mostrará un indicador verde, amarillo o rojo, según haya sido el crecimiento/decrecimiento de la variable en el período seleccionado con respecto al mismo período del año anterior para la categoría en cuestión."

De momento lo interpreto así (el original no parece muy claro, de todas formas).

"Traffic -light panel: a matrix of the N product categories for the 4 variables will be displayed: sales, price, distribution and FSS. In each element of the matrix a green, yellow o red indicator will be displayed according to the increase/decrease of the variable for the selected period, with respect to the same period of the previous year for the category in question"

agree  philgoddard: I haven't found this in a market research context, but it could be company-specific, in which case a literal translation works best.
