Use Cases

• Analyze certification trends over time using the `Año` (Year) and `Mes` (Month) columns.

• Track the lifecycle of certifications by calculating durations between `fecha de postulación` (application date), `fecha de certificación` (certification date), and `Fecha Caducidad Sello` (seal expiry date).
• Identify active, high-performing entities by filtering for `Activo` (Active) status and high `Nivel` (Level) or `Calificación` (Score).

Strengths

• Contains structured evaluation metrics via the `Calificación` (Score) and `Nivel` (Level) columns.
