FAQ
Common questions
What does the centre represent?
It represents the items counted in technical, analytical and communication skills at the same time.
Should all skills be in one set?
Place each skill where it meets the definitions used for the comparison.
When is a table better?
Use a table when readers need a complete list of skills or people, rather than a high-level overlap.
