    • You like spending time organizing information, making sense of messy data, or figuring out how things are connected.
    • You get a little thrill from discovering something useful that others might have missed.
    • You’re the kind of person who says, “Let me look into it—I’ll find out.”
    • You have an interest in design, creativity, or just appreciate thoughtful, well-made things.
    • You’re not afraid to ask questions, learn new tools, and share what you’ve figured out.
