Please fill it out as honestly and intuitively as possible since it is designed to detect exaggeration, which will cause your application to be automatically rejected.

Understand dependencies and expected timelines for each deliverable so that it can be prioritized and deadlines are upheld.
• Data Interpretation and Presentation: Translate data findings into clear, actionable recommendations. All dashboards and reports developed contain sufficient information (data sources used, terminology, considerations/limitations), such that a stakeholder can leverage them self-service with confidence.
• Problem Solving: Identify trends, patterns, and anomalies in data. Investigate data anomalies, first ensuring data quality, then developing actionable insights that provide stakeholders a deepening understanding of business workings.
