From the author

Turn findings into a defensible intelligence product — BLUF key judgements, standardised estimative probability language, per-claim sourcing with timestamps and archived copies, separated observation, inference and assessment, documented negative findings and gaps, chain of custody and hashing, and redaction of uninvolved parties. Use when writing an intelligence report, due-diligence memo, evidence pack or executive summary, or when asked to write up an investigation so it survives challenge. Applies to regulated compliance reporting, litigation and disclosure, board and investment committee reporting, and law-enforcement referral. Reference at useosint.com/skills/write-the-intel-brief.
