What problem does it solve? Open-source investigations often fail at the framing stage: vague objectives, unauthorized scope, circular corroboration, and confirmation bias produce confident but wrong findings. This Skill turns a vague request into an answerable intelligence question and enforces disciplined tradecraft before any collection begins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Scope and Objective Framing: Defines authorized boundaries, rewrites vague requests into falsifiable questions, and writes a passive-first collection plan mapped to sources. - Workflow Routing: Routes any starting selector (name, company, domain, handle, email, phone, photo, social profile) to the correct investigation workflow skill. - Source Grading and Hypothesis Testing: Applies the Admiralty (NATO) source-grading scheme and Analysis of Competing Hypotheses, with reference worksheets and worked examples. - Use Case: Given a supplier invoice, frame the question "does this supplier have an undisclosed sanctioned owner", plan passive collection, route to a company investigation workflow, grade each finding, and test competing attribution hypotheses before reporting. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to investigate a person, company, or domain and it will set authorized scope, frame an answerable question, and route to the right workflow.
