HANDS-ON / ELECTRICAL TRADE · An original fictional case
A safe first question, not a wiring tutorial
A fictional workshop trainer shows you a diagram of a lighting circuit. You do not touch equipment; only an approved instructor controls the training bench.
The brief
Your job is to notice the trade-off.
Make two decisions and create a small piece of work. Every option has a consequence; none is a test score. The case is invented by Ikigain to let you sample a kind of thinking, not to imitate an employer assessment.

Keep the experiment in proportion.
The decisions and circumstances above are fictional. They are based on Ikigain’s editorial reading of occupation descriptions, not a real company’s process or a validated measure of skill. A short exercise cannot tell you whether this career fits your life. Follow up with a practitioner, local training requirements and actual vacancies.
