How I see what others miss.
Melissa Johnson on the pattern-detection that drives JSG's forensic methodology.
Most trained professionals process sequentially. They check one box, then the next, then the next. They use checklists. They catch maybe 1–3 anomalies per case if they're good.
I don't work that way.
My mind holds 15–20 weak and indirect signals in working memory simultaneously. I run multiple parallel hypothesis threads at once:
I don't force a linear path. I let visual, logical, linguistic, and contextual patterns collide until something clicks.
And when it does, I don't find one problem. I find the fractal—the pattern that repeats at every level of the system.
This isn't normal for the average experienced professional.
It's normal for the top 0.1–1% of people who live in complex pattern-detection domains.
Forensic accountants. Elite intelligence analysts. World-class cybersecurity threat hunters. The people whose whiteboards look like chaos to everyone else, but are actually a map.
I'm not broken. I'm just built for a different difficulty setting.
That's what I bring to your organization. Not checklists. Not templates. A mind that sees what's actually there—and what's missing.
