Intelligence / WEEK 13 · DAY 01

Follow the money, but describe the uncertainty

Linked module: Crypto & Financial Intelligence

TECHNIQUE

One flow is a lead. A pattern of flows is intelligence.

CASE

COLLABORATION

So what — for your current case

Apply this directly to your open hunt today. Write one sentence in your case file naming what this briefing changes about your confidence, and one sentence naming what it does not.

Doctrine in play

  • VERIFY BEFORE YOU ATTRIBUTE.
  • A CLUE IS NOT EVIDENCE UNTIL YOU CAN DEFEND IT.
  • AI MAY ACCELERATE ANALYSIS. IT DOES NOT REPLACE JUDGMENT.
  • THE INTERNET REMEMBERS. INVESTIGATORS MUST TOO.
  • FOLLOW THE NETWORK, NOT JUST THE PERSON.
  • FOLLOW THE MONEY.
