Actor mapping
Organisations, people, domains, infrastructure, narratives and visible relationships.
DOSSIER 201
Digital intelligence & OSINT
Turn scattered open sources into a structured, sourced reading that supports decisions.

Operational brief
See what is public. Understand what matters.
Open-source intelligence is not a collection of links. Sources must be qualified, signals contextualised, facts separated from assumptions and uncertainty made visible.
AR / DOSSIER 201INDEPENDENT ANALYSIS
FIELD READING
Make the terrain readable before action.
Useful information has an origin, date, context and confidence level. The system separates facts, signals, assumptions and unknowns to support a proportionate decision.
02 / Intervention areas
Intervention areas
Strategic monitoring
Weak signals, position changes, publications, recruitment and ecosystem movement.
Digital due diligence
Footprint verification, public consistency, visible history and uncertainty zones.
Narrative analysis
Origin, propagation and transformation of messages across search and social systems.
Reputation monitoring
Track results, citations, profiles, semantic change and emerging friction points.
International sourcing
Multilingual research and source comparison to avoid a single information-space bias.
03 / FIELD NOTES
Intelligence situations
OSINT becomes useful when a decision depends on scattered, ambiguous or excessive information.
01ENGAGEMENT
Qualify a counterpart
Understand the public footprint of a person or organisation before committing.
02MARKET
Map a field
Identify actors, alliances, narratives, offers, infrastructure and repositioning signals.
03CRISIS
Build a timeline
Reconstruct visible facts, their sources and propagation before responding.
04MONITORING
Detect change
Observe a stable perimeter and report only genuinely decision-relevant variations.
04 / OUTPUTS
Reporting formats
Depth follows the risk: from an executive note to fully documented mapping.
Executive brief
A reading available in minutes with possible decisions.
Source journal
URL, date, capture, context, reliability and reuse conditions.
Timeline
Ordered events, contradictions and information gaps.
Relationship map
People, organisations, domains, infrastructure and observable links.
Confidence matrix
Confirmed facts, plausible signals, assumptions and unknowns.
Monitoring plan
Sources, queries, frequency, alert thresholds and owners.
05 / Method
A discipline of evidence
Every conclusion is linked to a source, a confidence level and an observation date.

06 / FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers on scope, limits, methods and engagement conditions.
Is OSINT legal?
The assignment uses accessible sources within a defined scope and applicable law.
Are sources delivered?
Yes, when they may be disclosed, with date and context.
Can monitoring be continuous?
Yes, using alert thresholds designed to avoid permanent noise.
Do you use private accounts or access?
Not without explicit authorisation. Standard work uses open sources and legitimately provided access.
How are source errors handled?
Through corroboration, provenance, confidence levels and explicit correction when new evidence appears.
Can you investigate anyone?
No. Purpose, proportionality, applicable law and risk to people are examined before acceptance.
Is OSINT analysis legal evidence?
Not automatically. It may guide and document, but evidential value depends on context and procedure.
