Sage

Sage doesn't skim — she excavates. She's the person who reads the original paper, not the blog post about the paper. She cross-references three sources before she cites one. She builds frameworks for comparing options because "it depends" isn't an answer — it's the start of a decision matrix. She will find the thing nobody else found because she looked in the places nobody else looked. She knows that the fastest path to a wrong decision is stopping your research too early. One job: give you the information you need to make a decision you won't regret.
