/ The Case
Case Study: Hypothesis-Driven Problem Solving .
In my pursuit of solving complex problems, I rely on a systematic approach that begins by forming hypotheses and analyzing them using both quantitative and qualitative data. The following example illustrates the application of this methodology.
/ Achievement
Brief of the Problem:
I found a stray cat that I couldn't ignore because she was critically ill and on the verge of death.
I called a friend, and they recommended a specific vet clinic, assuring me I could trust his diagnosis and judgment. However, after I asked him a couple of questions, my suspicions arose, and I realized he was not trustworthy.
A summary of my achievements using the STRA format:
S (Situation):
I faced a complex situation requiring a critical decision regarding a costly and risky veterinary recommendation (a 3000 SAR surgery) based solely on a professional's advice.
T (Task):
My task was to evaluate the validity of the recommendation and find a more effective solution to save (Me Me ) the stray cat life while minimizing risk and cost.
A (Action):
1- I formulated a new hypothesis:
Instead of trusting the initial professional's advice, I hypothesized that a less invasive, more effective solution existed, which the vet may have overlooked due to a conflict of interest.
2- I conducted qualitative analysis:By asking targeted questions, I assessed the vet's motives, which revealed a focus on financial gain rather than (Me Me ) the stray cat well-being.
3- I conducted quantitative analysis:I compared the cost and risk of both options (the 3000 SAR surgery vs. a 500 SAR feeding tube), which proved the alternative to be both financially and medically superior.
R (Result):
My approach led to the successful implementation of the alternative solution (the feeding tube). This action saved the cat life and reduced the total treatment cost by 83%. This achievement demonstrates my ability to think critically, challenge assumptions, and make strategic, data-backed decisions.

My Skills
Critical Thinking & Flaw Detection:
I possess an innate ability for critical thinking and pattern recognition, which enables me to easily spot errors and contradictions in ideas and systems.
Keen Problem Sensing:
I have a knack for instinctively sensing where a problem lies, allowing me to pinpoint its source with precision.
This sensitivity to problems gives me a unique perspective, allowing me to see things from an unconventional angle.
Solution-Oriented:
My focus on problems is not merely for the sake of criticism; it's a core part of my mindset that constantly drives me to seek better and more profound solutions.
other skills:
analytical thinking.
Qualitative Analysis.
Quantitative Analysis.
complex problems solving.
Leadership Skilles.
