Gotcha I’ve been a part time journalist both in print and radio for over 30 years and you are super strong on documentation which is a must for good results.
Habit. I work in an area where it pays to be skeptical - of budgets, of requirements, of customer demands. If you don't then you wind up paying for things you shouldn't pay for, doing things you didn't need to do, or not doing things you should have done. You've got to do your research and have the facts.
