Score each skill across 3 dimensions: Market Demand (how sought-after is it for [TARGET_ROLE]), Personal Leverage (how quickly could I become good at it given my background), and Career Impact (how much would it accelerate my goal of [CAREER_GOAL]). Score each dimension 1–5 and present a weighted priority ranking table.

Include at least 5 specific tactics with a suggested frequency for each.
