I have a method for gathering information: by extensively browsing resumes and analyzing the project experiences and job information disclosed within them, I can outline a rough profile and context of a project; then, by scheduling a series of interviews and talking to twenty or thirty people, I can develop an understanding of the industry and establish a "sense" of it. This kind of intuition cannot be replaced by any industry report. In intelligence studies, this is called the "Mosaic Theory": each tile alone is meaningless, but when assembled together, they form a complete picture. In other words, individual data points are noise, but when there are enough data points that can be cross-verified, signals emerge from the noise. My approach is essentially a form of information arbitrage: individuals often do not realize what their information reveals, but collectors can aggregate, align, and verify scattered fragments. Everyone only holds a small piece of the puzzle, but collectors see the full panorama.
