- Research rigor: ability to find, verify, and contextualize information, with a focus on accuracy.
- Familiarity with the tech and business landscape (understanding of funding rounds, major players in enterprise AI, value of proprietary intelligence on private companies).
- Clear communication skills: ability to write concise summaries, explain datasets to non-technical stakeholders, and flag issues proactively.
- Builder mentality: comfort with ambiguity, motivation to shape a new product from the ground up.
