Capabilities

Skills, with their sources attached

A skills list is unfalsifiable unless it says where each item came from. This one does, using the same evidence discipline the research pages apply to their own results.

How to read this page

Every skill carries its source.

Skills lists are usually unfalsifiable. This one is organized so each entry names the work behind it. Two labels are used: demonstrated, meaning a report, repository, or documented role stands behind it; and supporting, meaning it is a conservative reading of verified work rather than a separately evidenced specialism.

  • Demonstrated A report, repository, or documented role stands behind it.
  • Supporting A conservative reading of verified work, not a separately evidenced specialism.
  • Exposure Used, but not at a level worth calling proficiency.

No proficiency levels are assigned to software. Where the accurate description of a tool is exposure, that is what appears — inflating those is the fastest way to make everything else on the page suspect.

01

Research design and governance

The part that happens before a result exists, and decides whether it will mean anything.

02

Statistics and evaluation

Deciding whether a difference is real, and what it would take to believe it.

03

Signal processing and time series

Choosing a representation by measurement rather than by fashion.

04
