Spec emphasis vs Dan's depth
One axis per skill area. The outline is how hard this spec pushes on each one. The filled shape is how central that area is to Dan's work: full for what he is hired to lead, lower for what supports his delivery, low again for what sits beside it. A spike where the fill is thin is the honest warning. Computed live in your browser.
