Intellektual tahlil - Intelligence analysis

Bu maqola kabi yozilgan shaxsiy mulohaza, shaxsiy insho yoki bahsli insho Vikipediya tahrirlovchisining shaxsiy his-tuyg'ularini bayon qiladigan yoki mavzu bo'yicha asl dalillarni keltiradigan. Iltimos uni yaxshilashga yordam bering uni qayta yozish orqali entsiklopedik uslub. (2017 yil dekabr) (Ushbu shablon xabarini qanday va qachon olib tashlashni bilib oling)

Intellektual tahlil maxfiy ijtimoiy-madaniy sharoitda ma'lumotlarni tortish va gipotezalarni sinash uchun individual va kollektiv kognitiv usullarni qo'llashdir.^[1] Ta'riflar ataylab aldamchi ma'lumotlar shaklida bo'lishi mumkin bo'lgan narsalardan olinadi; The tahlilchi firibgarliklar orasidagi o'xshashlikni o'zaro bog'lashi va umumiy haqiqatni chiqarishi kerak. Garchi uning amaliyoti milliy shaklda eng sof shaklda topilgan bo'lsa ham razvedka idoralari, uning usullari kabi sohalarda ham qo'llaniladi biznes razvedkasi yoki raqobatdosh aql.

Umumiy nuqtai

Tahlil razvedka jarayoni yoki tsiklining bir qismidir

Intellektual tahlil - bu juda noaniq vaziyatlarning noaniqligini kamaytirishning bir usuli. Ko'pgina tahlilchilar katta yoki kichik ehtimollikdagi tushuntirishlarni rad etib, yo'lning o'rtasini tushuntirishni afzal ko'rishadi. Analitiklar raqibning tavakkalini qabul qilishda o'z mutanosiblik standartidan foydalanishi mumkin, chunki raqib tahlilchi kichik yutuq deb bilgan narsaga erishish uchun o'ta tavakkal qilishi mumkin. Eng muhimi, tahlilchi maxsus narsalardan qochish kerak aqlni tahlil qilish uchun kognitiv tuzoq u yoki u raqib nimani o'ylashini xohlasa, shunday xulosaga kelishi va mavjud xulosani asoslash uchun mavjud ma'lumotlardan foydalanishi. Dushmanlar chalg'itmoqchi bo'lgan deb o'ylash, paranoyak emas, balki haqiqatan ham, ayniqsa, bu sohalarda razvedka tsikli xavfsizligi va uning subdiplinasi qarshi razvedka. Ikkinchi jahon urushi davrida nemislarning qarshi razvedka san'ati so'zi ishlatilgan Funkspielyoki radio o'yini - maydonlarni o'ynash ma'nosidagi o'yin emas, balki undan tortib oladigan narsa o'yin nazariyasi va raqiblarini chalg'itishga intiladi.^[2]

Shubhasiz, muammolarni hal qilish qobiliyatlari to'plami tahlilchilar uchun juda zarurdir. Boshqa tomon o'z niyatlarini yashirishi mumkinligi sababli, tahlilchi noaniqliklarga, yolg'on ko'rsatmalarga va qisman ma'lumotlarga eksperimental olimga qaraganda ancha bo'laklarga bardoshli bo'lishi kerak. Ga binoan Dik Xeyer,^[3] tahlilchining xatti-harakatlari o'rganilgan eksperimentda bu jarayon bosqichma-bosqich takomillashtirilayapti: "tajribada ishtirok etayotganlar xiralashgan stimullarning dastlabki ta'siri ko'proq va yaxshi ma'lumotlar paydo bo'lgandan keyin ham aniq idrok qilishga xalaqit berishini namoyish etishlari bilan ... tajriba shuni ko'rsatadiki yuzaga kelishi mumkin bo'lgan muammoli vaziyatni erta va noaniq bosqichda kuzatishni boshlagan tahlilchi, boshqalar bilan taqqoslaganda, masalan, siyosatchilar bilan taqqoslaganda ahvolga tushib qolganligi, birinchi ta'sir ko'proq va yaxshi ma'lumotlarga ega bo'lganda keyingi bosqichga tushishi mumkin. "

Ma'lumotni vaqt o'tishi bilan oz-ozdan olish ham ushbu ma'lumotni tahlilchining mavjud qarashlariga singdirishga yordam beradi. Tahlilchini oldingi ko'rinishni o'zgartirishga undash uchun hech qanday ma'lumot etarli bo'lmasligi mumkin. Ko'pgina ma'lumotlarga xos bo'lgan kümülatif xabar muhim bo'lishi mumkin, ammo bu ma'lumotlar umuman o'rganilmasa susayadi. Intelligence Community-ning 1973 yilgacha bo'lgan faoliyatini ko'rib chiqishi Yom Kippur urushi qayd etilgan [faqat maxfiylashtirilmagan xatboshida].^[3]

Qo'shimcha tahlil qilish muammosi, ayniqsa, bu hozirgi razvedka jarayoniga taalluqli - urushlardan oldingi davrda ham ishlagan. Tahlilchilar, o'zlarining hisob-kitoblariga ko'ra, tez-tez bir kunlik qabul qilish asosida ish olib borishdi, uni shoshilinch ravishda avvalgi kun olingan materiallar bilan taqqoslashdi. Keyinchalik ular sezgi sezgisini aks ettirgan bo'lishi mumkin bo'lgan, ammo yaxlit dalillarning to'plangan to'plamini muntazam ravishda ko'rib chiqish natijasida kelib chiqadigan "yig'ilish uslubida" buyumlar ishlab chiqarishdi.

Tahlilga oid yozuvchilar tahlilchilar nima uchun noto'g'ri xulosaga kelishlari, sabablarini keltirib chiqaradilar aqlni tahlil qilish uchun kognitiv tuzoq.^[4][5][6] Qo'shimcha ma'lumot olishni istab, qarorlardan qochish tuzog'iga tushib qolmasdan, tahlilchilar ham har doim raqib haqida ko'proq bilib olishlari mumkinligini tan olishlari kerak.

Analitik savdo vositasi

Aql ma'lumotlar va ma'lumotlarning tobora takomillashib borishini aks ettiradi

Intellektni tahlil qilish uchun o'ziga xos usullar tanasi odatda shunday ataladi analitik savdo-sotiq.^[7] Intellektni tahlil qilish san'ati va fanini o'rganadigan o'quv fanlari odatda "Intelligence Studies" deb nomlanadi va masalan, institutlar Qo'shma razvedka kolleji, Pitsburg universiteti jamoat va xalqaro aloqalar oliy maktabi (Xavfsizlik va razvedka tadqiqotlari yo'nalishi) va Mercyhurst kolleji Intellektual tadqiqotlar instituti. Analytic Tradecraft Notes ning maqsadi Markaziy razvedka boshqarmasi "s Razvedka boshqarmasi (DI) ga quyidagilar kiradi

Analitik savdo kemalarida tajribaga ega bo'lish ushbu rejaning asosiy elementidir. Bizning savdo kemamiz tahlilchilarga quyidagilarni ta'minlash orqali aql-idrok iste'molchilariga "qo'shimcha qiymat" taqdim etish imkoniyatini beradi.

• Ob'ektivlikka bag'ishlanish - ma'lumotni qat'iy baholash va sud qarorlarini aniq himoya qilish - bu murakkab va nozik siyosat masalalari bilan shug'ullanadigan iste'molchilarga bo'lgan ishonchimizni oshiradi.
• Qarorlar qabul qilishda foydali bo'lishi uchun o'z mahsulotlarimizni kerakli odamlarga o'z vaqtida etkazib berish va ularning fikr-mulohazalari va topshiriqlaridan foydalanib, biz tahlil qilishimiz kerak bo'lgan asosiy aql-zakovat to'plamini boshqarish.

Savdo mahoratining analitik ko'nikmalari ham "kuch ko'paytirgichlari ", bizga yuqori sifatli tahlilni taqdim etishga yordam beradi:

• Mijozlarimiz bizga moslashtirilgan tahlilimiz to'g'risida bergan mulohazalari tahlilchi uchun qaysi savollarga eng ko'p javob berish kerakligini aniqlab beradi.
• Axborotni baholash va xulosalar chiqarish qoidalarini qo'llash tahlilchilarga ma'lumot to'fonini boshqarish, tendentsiyalarni aniqlash va aldashga urinishlarni aniqlashga yordam beradi.
• Tradecraft standartlari qo'shimcha mohiyatli mutaxassisliklarga ega bo'lgan mutaxassislar o'rtasidagi farqlarni bartaraf etish uchun ishlatilishi mumkin. Ularning o'zaro ta'siri jamoaviy ishni kuchaytiradi, bu esa [Intelligence Directorate] ga yanada samarali ishlashga imkon beradi.

Intellektni tahlil qilish uchun maqsadlarni belgilash

Maqsadni iste'molchi nuqtai nazaridan bayon etish maqsadni belgilash uchun ajoyib boshlang'ich nuqtadir:

Elchi Robert D. Blekvill ... 30 ga yaqin [razvedka jamoatchiligi menejerlari] sinfining diqqatini siyosat xodimi sifatida u hech qachon ... analitik maqolalarni o'qimaganligini ta'kidlab o'tdi. Nima uchun? "Chunki ular yopishqoq bo'lmagan." Blekvill tushuntirganidek, ularni u nima qilmoqchi ekanligini bilmagan va shuning uchun unga buni amalga oshirishda yordam bera olmaydigan odamlar yozgan: "Men davlatda Evropa ishlari bo'yicha ishlaganimda, masalan, ba'zi masalalarda men DI davlat kotibi.DI tahlilchilari buni bilmas edilar - men o'ta muhim masalalarda bir nechta hal qiluvchi qaror qabul qiluvchilardan biri bo'lganman. "

Keyinchalik xayrixohlik bilan, u endi MTJ xodimlari va Davlat departamenti byurolarida ishlashning dastlabki davrlarini "o'zaro jaholat" davri deb ta'riflaydi.

"DI tahlilchilarida men nima qilganim to'g'risida eng tumanli tushunchalar mavjud emas edi; va men ular nima qilishi mumkin yoki nima qilishi kerakligi haqida ma'lumotga ega emas edim."^[8]

Blekvill kamdan kam hollarda umumiy o'qishni o'z ichiga olgan vaqtidan qanday unumli foydalanganligini tushuntirdi Markaziy razvedka boshqarmasi hisobotlar. "Men juda ko'p narsalarni o'qidim. Ularning aksariyati matbuot edi. Siz o'zingizning vazifangizni bajarish uchun qanday siyosiy muammolar paydo bo'lishini bilishingiz kerak. Shuningdek, chet eldan uchrashuvlar kun tartibini tayyorlash va xorijiy hukumatlardagi hamkasblarimdan xabar yuborish va qabul qilish uchun kabellar. Prezidentning marhamatiga da'vogarlarning siyosat loyihalarining son-sanoqsiz versiyalari va o'nlab telefon qo'ng'iroqlari. Ko'pchilik vaqtni behuda sarflaydi, ammo yana siyosiy va siyosiy sabablarga ko'ra javob berish kerak.

"Iltimos, menga foydali bo'lmagan narsa haqida yana bir daqiqa. Iltimos, bu juda muhim. Mening lavozimim Prezidentni siyosiy qarorlar qabul qilishga, shu jumladan xorijiy hamkasblar va boshqa rasmiylar bilan uchrashuvlarda tayyorlashga yordam berishimni talab qildi ... Sizningcha kun tartibini tuzishda uzoq haftalarimni o'tkazganimdan so'ng, Germaniya tashqi ishlar vaziri Vashingtonga tashrif buyurishidan bir-ikki kun oldin menga nima uchun kelishini aytishim kerak? "

Jasoratli va halol bo'ling

Yalang'och so'zlar razvedka tahlilida muammoli; Shunga qaramay, ba'zi narsalar haqiqatan ham noaniq. Shubhasiz, noaniqliklar ehtimolliklar bilan yoki hech bo'lmaganda ehtimollik miqdorlari bilan berilsa, ular quruq so'zlar bilan kamroq va haqiqatni aks ettirish uchun eng yaxshi tushunilgan holatga aylanadi.

Yaxshi tahlilchi mulohazali, muqobil nuqtai nazarlarni ko'rib chiqishi kerak bo'lsa-da, tahlilchi o'z pozitsiyasida turishga tayyor bo'lishi kerak. Bu, ayniqsa, har bir dala hisobotini, mavzu bo'yicha har qanday texnik kuzatuvni o'qiydigan yagona mutaxassis bo'lishi mumkin bo'lgan ixtisoslashgan sohalarda juda muhimdir.

"O'zingizning professional qarorlaringizga ishoning. Har doim muqobil xulosalar yoki boshqa qarashlarni tinglashga tayyor bo'ling, ammo agar siz haqiqatan ham razvedka ma'lum bir xulosani qo'llab-quvvatlasa, ishongan bo'lsangiz, o'z pozitsiyangizda turing. Faqat kimdir sizning xo'jayiningiz, yuqori sinf yoki Sizdan uzoqroq bo'lgan degani, u sizning akkauntingizni sizdan ko'ra ko'proq bilishini anglatmaydi, siz har kuni tirbandlikni o'qiysiz va bu masalani o'rganasiz. Shu bilan birga, Vatanabe^[9] kuzatadi: "Noto'g'ri emas, adashgan yaxshiroqdir". Noto'g'ri bo'lishni istamaslik, shuningdek, siyosat ishlab chiqaruvchilarning eng yuqori darajasidagi kasallikdir va nima uchun siyosat ishlab chiqaruvchi va uning eng yaqin razvedka maslahatchilari o'rtasida ishonch asosida qurilgan nozik muvozanatli munosabatlar bo'lishi kerak.

"Razvedka bo'yicha tahlilchi bo'lish mashhurlik tanlovi emas ... Ammo sizning vazifangiz haqiqatni ta'qib qilishdir. Men AQShning bir nechta yangi qurol tizimlari hikmatini shubha ostiga qo'yadigan tahlilni yuborgan hamkasbimni eslayman. Ushbu tahlil Markaziy razvedka boshqarmasining tanqidlariga sabab bo'ldi , uning idorasi va o'zi uchun. Ammo u o'z pozitsiyasida turdi; agentlik uni qo'llab-quvvatladi va oxir-oqibat u haqligini isbotladi, u juda ko'p do'stlar topmadi, lekin u o'z ishini bajardi.^[9]

Intelligence tahlilchilari siyosatchilarning fikrlarini qo'llab-quvvatlaydi va haqiqatni tekshiradi.^[7] Eng samarali mahsulotlar bir nechta umumiy xususiyatlarga ega:

• Tahlilchi mamlakati manfaatlari uchun imkoniyatlar va xatarlar, ayniqsa reaktsiyani talab qilishi mumkin bo'lgan kutilmagan o'zgarishlar.
• Dushmanlar, ittifoqchilar va boshqa aktyorlarning motivlari, maqsadlari, kuchli va zaif tomonlari.
• Chet ellik o'yinchilar va masalalar bo'yicha do'stona tomonlarning to'g'ridan-to'g'ri va bilvosita manbalari.
• Milliy siyosat maqsadlarini ilgari surishning taktik alternativalari.

Haqiqatni tekshirishni beparvo qilmaslik kerak. Ikkinchi Jahon Urushida Ittifoqchilar maqsadli tizimga qarshi havo hujumini boshladilar, ular haqiqatan ham tushunmadilar V-1 qanotli raketa. Ularning hujum qilish uchun mantiqiy asoslari ("agar dushman buni aftidan baholagan bo'lsa, u holda hujum qilish kerak") samolyotlar va uchuvchilar ko'p bo'lganida oqilona bo'lishi mumkin edi, ammo bu hozirgi holatlarga, hech bo'lmaganda, tahlilchilargacha qo'llanilmasligi mumkin. maqsadli tizimning aldanishi bo'lishini istisno qiling.^[10] Agar tahdid haqiqatan ham bo'lsa, unda katta miqdordagi tahlikaga qadar hujumni kechiktirish kafolatlanishi mumkin.

Tarkib bo'yicha kelishuv

Analitik jarayon mijoz uchun interaktiv bo'lishi kerak. Masalan, birinchi IMINT paytida Sovet raketalari Kuba raketa inqirozi tekshirildi va tezda Prezident va Mudofaa vaziriga olib borildi. Hokimiyatning eng yuqori darajasi darhol ko'proq tafsilotlarni so'radi, shuningdek, fotosuratda mavjud bo'lmagan Sovet strategiyasiga qarashni xohladi.

Fotosuratlar ma'lumotni taqdim etishi shart emas niyatlar

Oq uy suratga olish uchun ko'proq Markaziy razvedka boshqarmasi va dengiz kuchlarini qo'llab-quvvatlashni so'raganda, u bir vaqtning o'zida qidirdi HUMINT va BELGI Kubadan, shuningdek diplomatik HUMINT. John F. Kennedi kabi mukammal brifingchilar tomonidan ma'lumot berilgunga qadar Dino Brugioni, u IMINT imkoniyatlarini tushunmagan bo'lishi mumkin.^[11]

Tez-tez razvedka xizmati mijozlar tashkilotini aks ettirish uchun ishlab chiqarish jarayonini va uning natijalarini tashkil qiladi. Bir manbali razvedka agentliklari tomonidan davlat ishlab chiqarishi asosan ehtiyojlarini qondirish uchun geografik yoki topikal tarzda tashkil etilgan barcha manbalar tayyor razvedka ishlab chiqaruvchi agentliklarda mamlakat, mintaqa yoki mavzu tahlilchilari.

Xaridor tomonidan maqsadli foydalanish nuqtai nazaridan ham biznes, ham davlat ishlab chiqaruvchilari joriy, taxminiy, operatsion, ilmiy-tadqiqot, ilmiy-texnikaviy yoki ogohlantirish sharoitida qo'llaniladigan aql-zakovatni yaratishi mumkin. Seritipity bu erda rol o'ynaydi, chunki to'plangan va tahlil qilingan ma'lumotlar ushbu mezonlarning har biriga yoki barchasiga javob berishi mumkin.

Yaxshi misol - ogohlantiruvchi razvedka.^[12] Harbiy va siyosiy tahlilchilar har doim favqulodda vaziyat, masalan, urush boshlanishi yoki siyosiy to'ntarish yaqinlashib kelishini oldindan belgilab qo'ygan ko'rsatmalarga e'tibor berishadi. Ko'rsatkich tasdiqlanganda, siyosatchilar ogohlantiriladi va tez-tez inqiroz guruhi chaqiriladi, shu bilan barcha tegishli mijozlarga vaziyat bo'yicha vaqtni sezgir ma'lumot bilan ta'minlash vazifasi beriladi.

O'zini iste'molchilarga yo'naltirish

Tajribali tahlilchilar o'zlarini jamoada mutaxassis sifatida ko'rishni maslahat berishadi, 5-10 asosiy o'yinchisi bilan. Ularning har biri haqida, o'zlarini qanday namoyon etishi va ularning kuchli tomonlarini mustahkamlash va zaif tomonlarini qo'llab-quvvatlashingiz nuqtai nazaridan biron bir narsani bilib oling. Tahlilchi doimiy ravishda o'z-o'ziga savol berib turishi kerak: "ular nimani bilishni xohlashadi / bilishlari kerak? Qanday qilib ular uni taqdim etishni afzal ko'rishadi? Ular hanuzgacha eng yaxshi harakat yo'nalishini tanlashga harakat qilmoqdalarmi yoki ular o'zlarining majburiyatlarini bajarishganmi va endi to'siqlarni bilishlari kerak. tanlagan yo'lidagi zaifliklar? "

Jamoadagi boshqalar ehtimoliy qiyinchiliklarni qanday hal qilishni bilishlari mumkin. Tahlilchining hissasi bu mumkin emasligini aniqlashda yoki aniq bo'lmagan aloqalarni ta'minlashda. Iste'molchilar ma'lumotni o'z vaqtida olishlari kerak, ular qaror qabul qilgandan keyin emas, balki tezroq qo'polroq ma'lumotlarga ega bo'lmasliklari mumkin edi.

Ba'zan, ishlab chiqaruvchi ichki va tashqi xaridorlarning ehtiyojlarini qanday qondirish bilan kurashayotganda, echim xaridorlarning har bir turi uchun ikkita turli xil mahsulotlarni yaratishdir. Ichki mahsulotda manbalar, yig'ish usullari va analitik metodlarning tafsilotlari bo'lishi mumkin, tashqi mahsulot esa jurnalistikaga o'xshaydi. Jurnalistlar doimo murojaat qilishlarini unutmang:

1. JSSV
2. Nima
3. Qachon
4. Qaerda
5. Nima uchun

"Qanday qilib" ko'pincha jurnalistlar uchun dolzarb, ammo aql-idrok nuqtai nazaridan faqat ichki auditoriya uchun mos manbalar va usullarning nozik sohasiga kirib borishi mumkin. Tashqi iste'molchi mumkin bo'lgan harakatlarni ko'proq bilishi kerak. Amallar uch bosqichda mavjud:

1. Amal qilish to'g'risida qaror
2. Amal
3. Harakatdan voz kechish^[13]

Ichki mahsulotlar aql-zakovatni yaratish uchun ishlatiladigan manbalar va usullar haqida batafsil ma'lumotni o'z ichiga oladi, tashqi mahsulotlar esa maqsadga muvofiq ma'lumotlarni ta'kidlaydi. Xuddi shunday, ishlab chiqaruvchi mahsulot tarkibini va ohangini mijozning malakasi darajasiga moslashtiradi.

O'zini tengdoshlariga yo'naltirish

O'yin maydonida birodarlashtirishga qarshi qat'iy qoidalar mavjud bo'lgan professional sportda ham o'yinchilar ko'pincha raqib jamoalardagi hamkasblari bilan chuqur do'stlik qilishadi. Ular kollej jamoasida birga bo'lishgan yoki shunchaki ular bugun qarshi bo'lgan jamoa ertaga ular bilan savdoga qo'yilishi mumkin bo'lgan jamoa bo'lishi mumkinligini bilishadi. Agar texnik murabbiyning shaxsiy g'oyasi emas, balki shaxsiy bo'lsa, bitta mutaxassis nominal raqibiga qanday qilib manevr qilishini ko'rsatishga tayyor bo'lishi mumkin. Vatanabe kuzatgan

Agar siz muammoni ko'rib chiqsangiz va u erda aql mavjud bo'lmasa yoki mavjud aql etarli bo'lmasa, kollektsionerlarni qidirishda va energiya berishda tajovuzkor bo'ling. ... Tahlilchi sifatida siz iste'molchi bilishi kerak bo'lgan narsalarni (ba'zida iste'molchi o'zini o'zi bilganidan yaxshiroq) va qaysi yig'uvchilar kerakli aql-idrokka ega bo'lishini bilishingizning afzalliklariga egasiz.

Sizga kerak bo'lgan ma'lumotlarni to'plashga intiling. Intelligence Community-da, biz muhim masalalar bo'yicha ma'lumot to'plash uchun katta miqdordagi yig'ish resurslarini jalb qilishning noyob qobiliyatiga egamiz. Tahlilchi yig'ish tizimlarining umumiy imkoniyatlari va cheklovlarini tushunishi kerak ... Agar tahlilchi texnik intizomda bo'lsa, tahlilchi yig'ish tizimi haqida operatorlar ko'rib chiqmagan tushunchaga ega bo'lishi mumkin ... Agar siz tez-tez topshiriq bermasangiz kollektorlar va ularning hisobotlari to'g'risida fikr-mulohazalar bildirish, siz o'zingizning ishingizning muhim qismini bajara olmaysiz.^[9]

Ham iste'molchi, ham tahlilchi tengdoshlar psixologik kontekstga ega. Jonston^[14]ushbu kontekstning uchta asosiy tarkibiy qismini taklif qiladi:

1. ijtimoiylashuv
2. tavakkal qilish darajasi yoki xavfdan qochish darajasi
3. tashkiliy-tarixiy kontekst

Devlin^[15] an'anaviy mantiqiy ish sotsializatsiya masalasini ko'rib chiqmasa-da, mantiqni aqlning haqiqiy dunyosiga yoyish bo'yicha ish talab qiladi. "Shuni ta'kidlash kerak bo'lgan birinchi narsa va bu hal qiluvchi ahamiyatga ega: agentning ramzga ma'no berish jarayoni har doim kontekstda, haqiqatan ham bir nechta kontekstda sodir bo'ladi va har doim shu kontekstga bog'liq bo'ladi." odamlarning ramzlarni talqin qilish usuli diagrammada olingan mexanizmni tekshirishga to'g'ri keladi:

[agent] + [belgi] + [kontekst] +. . . + [kontekst] → [talqin]

Kontekstga tegishli bo'lgan narsalarga quyidagilar kiradi:

1. Kontekstlar keng tarqalgan
2. Kontekstlar birlamchi hisoblanadi
3. Kontekstlar abadiylashadi
4. Kontekstlar ko'paymoqda
5. Kontekstlar potentsial bo'lishi mumkin zararli

Intizomi nutqni tanqidiy tahlil qilish kontekstni tashkil etishga yordam beradi. Maykl Krixton,^[16] vrachlarning boshqa shifokorlar bilan muloqoti misollarini keltirishda, oddiy odamlar bunday nutqlarni kuzatishda muammolarga duch kelayotganligini nafaqat ishlatilayotgan maxsus lug'at borligi, balki nutq nihoyatda yuqori kontekstda bo'lib o'tishini ta'kidlamoqda. Bir shifokor ba'zi diagnostik testlar haqida savol berishi mumkin, ikkinchisi esa bir-biriga bog'liq bo'lmagan test natijalari bilan javob beradi. Umumiy kontekst shundaki, birinchi test ma'lum bir kasallikning dalillarini izlagan bo'lsa, javobda kasallikni istisno qiladigan test natijalari keltirilgan. Kasallikning o'zi hech qachon nomlanmagan, ammo o'qitilgan kontekstda nutq ishtirokchilari uchun juda aniq.

Razvedka tahlili ham juda yuqori kontekstdir. Mavzu siyosiy xatti-harakatlarmi yoki qurol qobiliyatlari bo'ladimi, tahlilchilar va iste'molchilar juda ko'p kontekstga ega. Aql-idrokni iste'molchilar o'zlarining ichki holatlariga mos ravishda ma'lumot berish orqali vaqtlarini behuda sarf qiladigan umumiy qog'ozlardan juda xafa bo'lishadi.

Sizda mavjud bo'lgan narsalarni tartibga solish

To'plash jarayonlari tahlilchilarga turli xil ma'lumotlarni taqdim etadi, ba'zilari muhim va ahamiyatsiz, ba'zilari haqiqiy va yolg'on (o'rtasida ko'p soyalar mavjud), ba'zilari esa ularni tahlil qilishda ishlatishdan oldin oldindan qayta ishlashni talab qiladi. Xom axborot hisobotlaridan foydalanish a standart kod manba va ma'lumotlarning taxmin qilingan ishonchliligi uchun. The AQSh razvedka hamjamiyati axborot turlarining ba'zi rasmiy ta'riflaridan foydalanadi.^[7]

Harmanlama xom ma'lumotni tartibga solish, ma'lum ma'lumotlarni interpolatsiya qilish, ma'lumotlar qiymatini baholash, ish farazlarini qo'yish jarayonini tavsiflaydi. Oddiy yondashuvlar ko'pincha ajoyib boshlanishdir. Hujjatlar va ma'lumotlarni himoya qilishni hisobga olgan holda, qog'oz parchalari, doska, stol va ehtimol mantar taxtasi bilan ko'p ish qilish mumkin. Xaritalar ko'pincha hayotiy yordamchi vositalar bo'lib, ularni yozish mumkin.

Ushbu funktsiyalarning barchasining avtomatlashtirilgan ekvivalentlari mavjud va har bir tahlilchi qo'lda va mashinada yordam beradigan usullar o'rtasida shaxsiy muvozanatga ega bo'ladi. Kabi miqdoriy usullar bo'lsa, shubhasiz modellashtirish va simulyatsiya maqsadga muvofiq bo'lsa, tahlilchi kompyuter yordamini va ehtimol metodologiya bo'yicha mutaxassislardan maslahat olishni xohlaydi. Xaritalar va tasvirlarni, ayniqsa turli xil tasvirlarni birlashtirganda, a geografik axborot tizimi odatda koordinatali tizimlarni normalizatsiya qilish uchun kerak, o'lchov va kattalashtirish va ba'zi tafsilotlarni bostirish va boshqalarni qo'shish qobiliyati.

Tasvirlash, ehtimol matnni qayta ishlash dasturida yoki kabi vizualizatsiya vositalaridan foydalanishda aql xaritalari fayl papkalari va indeks kartalari kabi tuzilishni berishi mumkin. Kabi statistik metodlar bilan ma'lumotlar bazalari o'zaro bog'liqlik, omillarni tahlil qilish va vaqt qatorlarini tahlil qilish tushuncha berishi mumkin.

Turli xil bo'lmagan aloqalarning keng doirasini aks ettiruvchi aql-xarita

Ba'zi tahlilchilar Zenga o'xshash holat haqida gapirishadi, ular ma'lumotlarning ular bilan "gaplashishiga" imkon beradi.

Semantik tarmoq; formalizmni aql xaritasi bilan taqqoslang

Ishlab chiqaruvchi va iste'molchi o'rtasidagi munosabatlar qanchalik interaktiv bo'lib qolsa, shuncha muhim vositalar bo'ladi:^[18]

• Hamkorlik vositalari. Bunga barcha ommaviy axborot vositalari kiradi: ovozli, video, tezkor xabar almashish, elektron doskalar va birgalikda hujjatlarning belgilanishi
• Ma'lumotlar bazalari. Ular nafaqat o'zaro bog'liq bo'lishi kerak, balki kerak bo'lganda turli xil modellarni aks ettirishi kerak, masalan semantik veb. Endi ma'lumotlar bazalari va veb-ilovalar o'rtasida aniq chiziq bo'lmasligi mumkin.

Tahlilning mohiyati

Tahlilda mavzuning asosiy xarakteristikalari, so'ngra asosiy o'zgaruvchilar va tanlovlarning qisqacha mazmuni bo'lishi kerak. Borgan sari chuqur tahlil qilinayotgan narsa o'rganilayotgan materiyaning ichki dinamikasini va oxir-oqibat taxmin deb nomlanadigan bashorat qilishni tushuntirishi mumkin.

Razvedka tahlilining maqsadi aniq qaror qabul qiluvchiga tanlangan maqsadli ma'lumotlarning asosiy ahamiyatini ochib berishdir. Tahlilchilar tasdiqlanganidan boshlashlari kerak faktlar, ishonchli, ammo unchalik aniq bo'lmagan bilimlarni yaratish uchun ekspert bilimlarini qo'llang topilmalar, va hatto bashorat, prognoz tegishli darajada malakaga ega bo'lganda. Ammo tahlilchilar, aslida hech qanday asosga ega bo'lmagan folbinlik bilan shug'ullanmasliklari kerak.

Aql-idrokni tahlil qilishda oziq-ovqat zanjiri: "baliq" qanchalik katta bo'lsa, unchalik ehtimol emas

Qachonki razvedka ma'lumotlari imkon bersa va mijozning tasdiqlangan ehtiyojlari talab qilsa, razvedka bo'yicha tahlilchi fikrlash jarayonini iloji boricha oziq-ovqat zanjiri bo'ylab uchinchi "F" darajasiga qadar kengaytiradi, ammo to'rtinchisiga emas.

Fikrlash turlari

Ob'ektivlik - razvedka tahlilchisining to'rt FS minus bitta mezoniga javob beradigan aqlni yaratishda asosiy boyligi. Intellektni ob'ektiv ravishda ishlab chiqarish uchun tahlilchi muammoning mohiyatiga moslashtirilgan jarayonni qo'llashi kerak. Fikrlashning to'rtta asosiy turi intellektni tahlil qilish uchun qo'llaniladi: induksiya, deduksiya, o'g'irlash va ilmiy usul.^[5]

Induksiya: sabablarni izlash

Induktsiya jarayoni bu o'rganilayotgan hodisalar orasidagi munosabatlarni aniqlashdir. Bu tasodifiy ko'rinadigan voqealar majmuasini ko'rib chiqish, ehtimol ularni kartochkalarga yozish va naqsh paydo bo'lguncha ularni aralashtirish orqali odamlarning naqshlarini aniqlash qobiliyatidan kelib chiqishi mumkin.^[5]

Analitik X mamlakati qo'mondonlik punkti ABC chaqiruv belgisi bilan payshanba va shanba kunlari oralig'ida 1 chastotasida xabar yuborganida, havo bo'linmasi bir hafta ichida mashg'ulotlar oralig'iga o'tishini sezishi mumkin. Tasdiqlash bir kun davom etadi, shuning uchun tahlilchi juma va yakshanba kunlari tegishli chastotalar bo'yicha COMINT-ning kuchaytirilgan monitoringini o'tkazishni tavsiya qilishi kerak. Boshqa sabablarga ko'ra sabab bo'lishi mumkin bo'lgan suhbatlar, ular askarlar yaqinlashib kelayotgan hujum haqida ogohlantiradigan narsalarni yoki qo'lbola portlovchi moslamani joylashtirganda er qanday ko'rinishini tasvirlab berishlari mumkin.

Odamlar uchun induksiya odatda to'liq oqilona darajada bo'lmasa-da, naqshlarni topish uchun statistik yoki mantiqiy usullardan foydalanadigan dasturiy ta'minotning potentsial rolini kamaytirmang. Induksiya sezgi sezgisidan tubdan farq qiladi: odatda induksiyani taniydigan naqsh mavjud va bu naqsh boshqa holatlarga ham tegishli bo'lishi mumkin.

Chegirma: umumiyni qo'llash

Deduktsiya - bu umumiylikdan o'ziga xoslikgacha fikr yuritishning klassik jarayoni, esda qolarli jarayon Sherlok Xolms: "Sizga iloji bo'lmagan narsani yo'q qilganingizda, nima bo'lishidan qat'iy nazar, haqiqat bo'lishi kerak, deb sizlarga necha marta aytgan edim?" Ajratish gipotezani binolardan xulosaga qadar ishlash orqali tasdiqlash uchun ishlatilishi mumkin.^[5]

Yuqorida tavsiflangan havo manevralari sxemasi umumiy naqsh bo'lishi mumkin yoki u faqat General Xning shaxsiy buyruq uslubi bo'lishi mumkin. Tahlilchilar bu naqsh haqiqatan ham umumiy ta'limotmi yoki shunchaki o'ziga xos xususiyatga ega ekanligini bilish uchun, masalan, shaxsiyat kabi o'zgaruvchiga qarashlari kerak.

Hamma razvedka xodimlari buni kerakli usul deb hisoblamaydilar. Markaziy razvedka boshqarmasi direktorini tasdiqlash bo'yicha tinglashda Gen. Maykl V. Xeyden u razvedka tahlili "induksiya" orqali amalga oshirilishi kerak, deb hisoblaydi, uning asosida "barcha ma'lumotlar" to'planib, umumiy xulosalar aniqlanadi, "xulosaga keltirish" emas, balki xulosangiz bor va uni qo'llab-quvvatlovchi ma'lumotlarni qidirib toping.^[19]

O'rgatilgan sezgi

Tahlilchilar o'qitilgan sezgidan foydalanishlari kerak: o'z-o'zidan tushunchaga kelganligini tan olish. U erda olib boradigan qadamlar ko'rinmasligi mumkin, garchi sezgini mavjud faktlar va vositalar bilan tasdiqlash yaxshi bo'lsa.^[5]

Polshalik kriptanalitiklar avval nemis tilini o'qishgan Jumboq tijorat versiyasini ingliz kriptanalizatori buzgan bo'lishi mumkin bo'lsa-da, 1932 yilda shifrlarni, Dilvin Noks, 1920-yillarda. 1939 yilda Polsha frantsuzlar va inglizlarga muhim ma'lumotlarni bergan va 1940 yilda ingliz kriptoanalizini ishlab chiqarish juda yaxshi boshlangan edi. Enigma, nemis harbiy qo'shinlari bilan, mexanik shifrlash moslamasi uchun juda kuchli edi va u osonlikcha singan bo'lmasligi mumkin edi. Nemislar operatsion protseduralarga ko'proq ehtiyot bo'lishdi. Urush davomida Germaniya qo'shimcha vositalarni ishlab chiqardi, ammo inglizlar trafikni nemislar singari deyarli tez o'qiyotganini hech qachon anglamadilar.

Oxir oqibat, hech qanday kod buzilmaydi, shu jumladan Jumboq Agar xavfsizlik buzilgan bo'lsa

AQSh kriptanalizatorlari Yaponiyaning bir nechta diplomatik shifrlarini buzgan, ammo hech qachon ko'rmagan SIYOHRANG urushdan keyin ular mantiqni aniqladilar. Binafsha aslida Enigma-dan mexanik jihatdan sodda edi, ammo AQSh armiyasi jamoasi shu vaqtgacha mexanik ko'paytirish bilan kurashdi Leo Rozen Binafsharang mashinadagi muhim qurilish bloklari telefon turi ekanligi haqida tushunarsiz tushuncha mavjud edi o'tish tugmasi o'rniga rotor Enigma-da va AQSh va Buyuk Britaniyaning yanada rivojlangan mashinalarida qo'llaniladi. Rozen, Frenk Roulett va boshqa jamoadoshlari Rozenning aql-idrokini aloqa muhandisi sezgisidan boshqa narsaga asoslanmagan deb bilishdi.

Tajribali tahlilchilar va ba'zida tajribasi past bo'lganlar, maqsadli mamlakatda sodir bo'ladigan ba'zi bir voqealar to'g'risida sezgi sezadilar va ko'proq ma'lumot to'playdilar va ehtimol o'z vakolatlari doirasida yig'ish uchun so'rovlar yuboradilar. Ushbu sezgi etarlicha tez-tez foydalidir, chunki tahlilchilarning dono menejerlari, agar vaziyat o'ta muhim bo'lmasalar, ularni o'rganish uchun ma'lum bir erkinlikka imkon beradi.

Ilmiy uslub

Astronomlar va yadro fiziklari doimiylikning makroskopikdan mikroskopikgacha bo'lgan turli uchlarida gipotezaga mos xulq-atvorni xulosa qilish usulini, ular to'g'ridan-to'g'ri kirish imkoni bo'lmagan hodisalarni emas, balki o'lchash mumkin bo'lgan hodisalarni o'lchash orqali baham ko'rishadi. taxmin qilingan gipotezaga qiziqish mexanizmi ta'sir qiladi. Boshqa olimlar kimyo yoki biologiyada bo'lgani kabi to'g'ridan-to'g'ri tajribalar o'tkazishlari mumkin. Agar eksperimental natijalar kutilgan natijaga to'g'ri keladigan bo'lsa, u holda gipoteza tasdiqlanadi; agar yo'q bo'lsa, unda tahlilchi yangi gipoteza va tegishli eksperimental usullarni ishlab chiqishi kerak.^[5]

Aql-idrokni tahlil qilishda tahlilchi kamdan-kam kuzatiladigan mavzuga bevosita kirish huquqiga ega, ammo bilvosita ma'lumot to'playdi. Qo'l ostidagi razvedka predmeti texnik bo'lgan taqdirda ham, tahlilchilar boshqa tomon qasddan aldamchi ma'lumot taqdim etishi mumkinligini bilishlari kerak.

Ushbu to'plangan ma'lumotlardan tahlilchi mavzu hodisasi yoki hodisasi uchun taxminiy tushuntirishlar yaratish orqali ilmiy uslubga o'tishi mumkin. Keyinchalik, har bir gipoteza ishonchli va yangi olingan ma'lumotlar bilan taqqoslanib, doimiy ravishda xulosaga kelish jarayonida. Ko'pincha razvedka tahlilchisi bir vaqtning o'zida bir nechta gipotezalarni sinab ko'radi, olim esa odatda birma-bir diqqatni jamlaydi. Bundan tashqari, razvedka tahlilchilari odatda ilmda bo'lgani kabi to'g'ridan-to'g'ri mavzu bo'yicha tajriba o'tkaza olmaydilar, balki xayoliy senariylarni yaratishlari va ularni sinchkovlik bilan sinab ko'rishlari kerak. tahlil usullari quyida tavsiya etilgan.

Tahlil qilish usullari

Fikrlash turlaridan farqli o'laroq, tahlilchi mahsulotni tuzish usullari, quyidagi usullar tahlilchining fikrlash natijalarini tasdiqlash usullari hisoblanadi. Tarkibiy analitik usullar hukmlarga qarshi chiqish, aqliy ongni aniqlash, noaniqliklarni bartaraf etish, ijodkorlikni rag'batlantirish va noaniqlikni boshqarish uchun yordam beradi. Masalan, asosiy taxminlarni tekshirish, raqobatlashayotgan gipotezalarni tahlil qilish, Iblisning advokati, Qizil jamoaviy tahlil va Alternative Futures / Scenarios tahlili va boshqalarni o'z ichiga oladi.^[20]

Imkoniyatlarni tahlil qilish

Imkoniyatlar tahlili siyosat mansabdor shaxslari uchun mijozning tashkiloti siyosatni ilgari surish uchun foydalanishi mumkin bo'lgan imkoniyatlar yoki zaifliklarni hamda siyosatni buzishi mumkin bo'lgan xavflarni aniqlaydi. Advokatlar testni qo'llashadi cui bono (kimga foyda keltiradi?) shunga o'xshash tarzda.

Imkoniyatlarni tahlil qilishdan maksimal darajada foydalanish uchun o'z mamlakati uchun bir qator maqsadlar bo'lishi kerak, ular uchun bir oz moslashuvchan bo'lishi kerak. Keyingi qadam, ushbu maqsadli mamlakatda shaxslar va guruhlarni qiziqishning umumiyligi borligini aniqlash uchun o'rganishdir. Even though the different sides might want the same thing, it is entirely possible that one or the other might have deal-breaking conditions. If that is the case, then ways to smooth that conflict need to be identified, or no more work should be spent on that alternative.

Conversely, if there are elements that would be utterly opposed to the objectives of one's side, ways of neutralizing those elements need to be explored. They may have vulnerabilities that could render them impotent, or there may be a reward, not a shared opportunity, that would make them cooperate.

Linchpin analysis

Linchpin analysis proceeds from information that is certain, or with a high probability of being certain. In mathematics and physics, a similar problem formation, which constrains the solution by certain known or impossible conditions, is the boundary value condition.

By starting from knowns (and impossibilities), the analyst has a powerful technique for showing consumers, peers, and managers that a problem has both been thoroughly studied and constrained to reality.^[21] Linchpin analysis was introduced to CIA by Deputy Director for Intelligence (1993–1996) Doug MacEachin, as one of the "muscular" terms he pressed as an alternative to academic language, which was unpopular with many analysts. He substituted linchpin analysis for the hypotheses driving key variables. MacEachin required the hypotheses—or linchpins—needed to be explicit, so policymakers could be aware of coverage, and also aware of changes in assumptions.

This method is an "anchoring tool" that seeks to reduce the hazard of self-inflicted intelligence error as well as policymaker misinterpretation. It forces use of the checkpoints listed below, to be used when drafting reports:

1. Identify the main uncertain factors or key variables judged likely to drive the outcome of the issue, forcing systematic attention to the range of and relationships among factors at play.
2. Determine the linchpin premises or working assumptions about the drivers. This encourages testing of the key subordinate judgments that hold the estimative conclusion together.
3. Marshal findings and reasoning in defense of the linchpins, as the premises that warrant the conclusion are subject to debate as well as error.
4. Address the circumstances under which unexpected developments could occur. What indicators or patterns of development could emerge to signal that the linchpins were unreliable? And what triggers or dramatic internal and external events could reverse the expected momentum?

Raqobat gipotezalarini tahlil qilish

Dik Xeyer spent years in the CIA Directorate of Operations (DO) as well as the DI, and worked on methodology of analysis both in his later years and after retirement.^[3] Some of his key conclusions, coming from both experience and an academic background in philosophy, include:

1. The mind is poorly "wired" to deal effectively with both inherent uncertainty (the natural fog surrounding complex, indeterminate intelligence issues) and induced uncertainty (the man-made fog fabricated by denial and deception operations).
2. Even increased awareness of cognitive and other "unmotivated" biases, such as the tendency to see information confirming an already-held judgment more vividly than one sees "disconfirming" information, does little by itself to help analysts deal effectively with uncertainty.
3. Tools and techniques that gear the analyst's mind to apply higher levels of critical thinking can substantially improve analysis on complex issues on which information is incomplete, ambiguous, and often deliberately distorted. Key examples of such intellectual devices include techniques for structuring information, challenging assumptions, and exploring alternative interpretations.

In 1980, he wrote an article, "Perception: Why Can't We See What Is There to be Seen?" which suggests to Davis^[21] that Heuer's ideas were compatible with linchpin tahlil. Given the difficulties inherent in the human processing of complex information, a prudent management system should

1. Encourage products that (a) clearly delineate their assumptions and chains of inference and (b) specify the degree and source of the uncertainty involved in the conclusions.
2. Emphasize procedures that expose and elaborate alternative points of view—analytic debates, devil's advocates, interdisciplinary brainstorming, competitive analysis, intra-office peer review of production, and elicitation of outside expertise.

According to Heuer, analysts construct a reality based on objective information, filtered through complex mental processes that determine which information is attended to, how it is organized, and the meaning attributed to it. What people perceive, how readily they perceive it, and how they process this information after receiving it are all strongly influenced by past experience, education, cultural values, role requirements, and organizational norms, as well as by the specifics of the information received. To understand how the analysis results, one must use good mental models to create the work, and understand the models when evaluating it. Analysts need to be comfortable with challenge, refinement, and challenge. To go back to linchpin analysis, the boundary conditions give places to challenge and test, reducing ambiguity.

More challenge, according to Heuer, is more important than more information. He wanted better analysis to be applied to less information, rather than the reverse. Given the immense volumes of information that modern collection systems produce, the mind is the limiting factor. Mirror-imaging is one of Heuer's favorite example of a cognitive trap, in which the analyst substitutes his own mindset for that of the target. "To see the options faced by foreign leaders as these leaders see them", according to Heuer, " one must understand [the foreign leaders'] values and assumptions and even their misperceptions and misunderstandings. ... Too frequently, foreign behavior appears "irrational" or "not in their own best interest." Projecting American values created models that were inappropriate for the foreign leader.

A significant problem during the Vietnam War is that Mudofaa vaziri Robert S. Maknamara, an expert on statistical decision-making, assumed that Xoshimin, Võ Nguyên Giap va boshqalar Shimoliy Vetnam officials would approach decision-making as he did. For example, in McNamara's thinking, if the United States did not attack SA-2 zenit-raketalar, the enemy would interpret that as "restraint" and not use them against U.S. aircraft^[22]The North Vietnamese leadership, not privy to McNamara's thinking, were unaware of the "signaling" and did their best to shoot down U.S. aircraft with those missiles.

Heuer's answer was making the challenge of Raqobat gipotezalarini tahlil qilish (ACH) the core of analysis. In ACH, there is competition among competing hypotheses of the foreign leader's assumptions, which will reduce mirror-imaging even if they do not produce the precise answer. The best use of information, in this context, is to challenge the assumption the analyst likes best.

One of the key motivations for ACH, according to Heuer, is to avoid rejecting deception out of hand, because the situation looks straightforward. Heuer observed that good deception looks real. "Rejecting a plausible but unproven hypothesis too early tends to bias the subsequent analysis, because one does not then look for the evidence that might support it. The possibility of deception should not be rejected until it is disproved or, at least, until a systematic search for evidence has been made and none has been found."

The steps in ACH are:^[23]

1. Identify the possible hypotheses to be considered. Use a group of analysts with different perspectives to brainstorm the possibilities.
2. Make a list of significant evidence and arguments for and against each hypothesis.
3. Prepare a matrix with hypotheses across the top and evidence down the side. Analyze the "diagnosticity" of the evidence and arguments—that is, identify which items are most helpful in judging the relative likelihood of the hypotheses.
4. Refine the matrix. Reconsider the hypotheses and delete evidence and arguments that have no diagnostic value.
5. Draw tentative conclusions about the relative likelihood of each hypothesis. Proceed by trying to disprove the hypotheses rather than prove them.
6. Analyze how sensitive your conclusion is to a few critical items of evidence. Consider the consequences for your analysis if that evidence were wrong, misleading, or subject to a different interpretation.
7. Report conclusions. Discuss the relative likelihood of all the hypotheses, not just the most likely one.
8. Identify milestones for future observation that may indicate events are taking a different course than expected.

Keyt Devlin has been researching the use of mathematics and formal logic in implementing Heuer's ACH paradigm.^[15]

Analogiya

Analogy is common in technical analysis, but engineering characteristics seeming alike do not necessarily mean that the other side has the same employment doctrine for an otherwise similar thing. Sometimes, the analogy was valid for a time, such as the MiG-25 aircraft being designed as a Soviet counter to the perceived threat of the high-altitude, supersonic B-70 bombardimonchi. The Soviets could have canceled the MiG-25 program when the US changed doctrines to low altitude penetration and canceled the B-70 program, but they continued building the MiG-25.

One of the Soviet variants was a high-speed, high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft (MiG-25RB), which, for a time, was thought comparable to the US SR-71 samolyot. Several additional points of data, however, showed that an analogy between the SR-71 and MiG-25RB was not complete. HUMINT revealed that a single Mach 3.2 flight of the MiG wrecked the engines beyond hope of repair, and the cost of replacement was prohibitive. The SR-71, however, could make repeated flights with the same engines. The dissimilarity of engine life was not only expensive, but meant that the MiG-25RB could operate only from bases with the capability to change engines.

Eng yuqori tezlik MiG-25 RB reconnaissance flights damaged its engines beyond repair

The United States had applied "reverse engineering" to the MiG, essentially saying "if we had an aircraft with such capabilities, what would we do with it?" In the fighter-interceptor role, however, the US gives the pilot considerable flexibility in tactics, where the Soviets had a doctrine of tight ground control. For the U.S. doctrine, the aircraft was too inflexible for American fighter tactics, but made sense for the Soviets as an interceptor that could make one pass at a penetrating bomber, using an extremely powerful radar to burn through jamming for final targeting.

Many of these assumptions fell apart after Viktor Belenko flew his MiG-25 to the West, where TECHINT analysts could examine the aircraft, and doctrinal specialists could interview Belenko.^[24]

The analytic process

Analysts should follow a series of sequential steps:

Define the problem

Policy makers will have questions based on their intelligence requirements. Sometimes questions are clear and can easily be addressed by the analyst. Sometimes however, clarification is required due to vagueness, multiple layers of bureaucracy between customer and analyst, or due to time constraints. Just as analysts need to try to understand the thinking of the adversary, analysts need to know the thinking of their customers and allies.

Generate hypotheses

Once the problem is defined, the analyst is able to generate reasonable hypotheses based on the question. For example, a business may want to know whether a competitor will lower their prices in the next quarter. From this problem, two obvious hypotheses are:

1. The competitor will lower prices or
2. The competitor will not lower prices.

However, with a little brainstorming, additional hypotheses may become apparent. Perhaps the competitor will offer discounts to long term customers, or perhaps they may even raise prices. At this point, no hypothesis should be discarded.

Determine information needs and gather information

In intelligence, to'plam usually refers to the step in the formal razvedka tsikli jarayon. In many cases, the information needed by the analyst is either already available or is already being sought by collection assets (such as spies, imagery satellites). If not, the analyst may request collection on the subject, or if this is not possible identify this information gap in their final product. The analyst will generally also research other sources of info, such as open source (public record, press reporting), historical records, and various databases.

Evaluate sources

Information used for military, commercial, state, and other forms of intelligence analysis has often been obtained from individuals or organizations that are actively seeking to keep it secret, or may provide misleading information. Adversaries do not want to be analyzed correctly by competitors. This withholding of information is known as qarshi razvedka, and is very different from similar fields of research, such as science and history where information may be misleading, incomplete or wrong, but rarely does the subject of investigation actively deny the researcher access. So, the analyst must evaluate incoming information for reliability (has the source reported accurate information in the past?), credibility (does the source reasonably have access to the information claimed? Has the source lied in the past?), and for possible denial and deception (even if the source is credible and reliable, they may have been fooled).

Evaluate (test) hypotheses

All hypotheses must be rigorously tested. Kabi usullar Raqobat gipotezalarini tahlil qilish or link charts are key.^[25] It is essential to triage which may be valid, which fail readily, and which require more information to assess.

Be especially alert to cognitive and cultural biases in and out of the organization. Recent scholarship on theories of the sociology of knowledge raise important caveats.

As Jones and Silberzahn documented in the 2013 volume Constructing Cassandra: Reframing Intelligence Failure at the CIA, 1947–2001, while hypotheses are essential to sorting "signals" from "noise" in raw intelligence data, the variety, types and boundaries of the types of hypotheses an intelligence organization entertains are a function of the collective culture and identity of the intelligence producer. Often, these hypotheses are shaped not merely by the cognitive biases of individual analysts, but by complex social mechanism both inside and outside that analytic unit. After many strategic surprises, "Cassandras" – analysts or outsiders who offered warnings, but whose hypotheses were ignored or sidelined – are discovered. Therefore, careful analysts should recognize the key role that their own and their organization's identity and culture play in accepting or rejecting hypotheses at each step in their analysis.^[26]

Production and packaging

Once hypotheses have been evaluated, the intelligence product must be created for the consumer. Three key features of the intelligence product are:

• Timeliness. Timeliness includes not only the amount of time required to deliver the product, but also the usefulness of the product to the customer at a given moment.
• Scope. Scope involves the level of detail or comprehensiveness of the material contained in the product.
• Periodicity. Periodicity describes the schedule of product initiation and generation.

Government intelligence products are typically packaged as highly structured written and oral presentations, including electrical messages, hardcopy reports, and briefings. Many organizations also generate video intelligence products, especially in the form of live daily "newscasts", or canned documentary presentations.

Analysts should understand the relationship between the analyst's and the consumer's organization. There may be times that while the ultimate consumer and originating analyst simply want to pass information, a manager in either chain of command may insist on a polished format.

Taqriz

Peer review is essential to assess and confirm accuracy. "Coordination with peers is necessary...If you think you are right, and the coordinator disagrees, let the assessment reflect that difference of opinion and use a footnote, called a reclama,^[27] inside the U.S. intelligence community if necessary. But never water down your assessment to a lowest common denominator just to obtain coordination. When everyone agrees on an issue, something probably is wrong. "As an example, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, there was an almost unanimous belief that large numbers of Russian ballistic missile specialists would flood into the Third World and aid missile programs in other states (the so-called brain drain)...As it turned out, there was no [expected] mass departure of Russian missile specialists, but Russian expertise was supplied to other states in ways that had been ignored due to the overemphasis on the miya oqishi.

In large intelligence establishments, analysts have peers at other agencies. The practical amount of coordination, indeed inside one's own agency, will depend on the secure collaboration tools available (vikilar, analyst webpages, elektron pochta ), the schedule and availability of the other analysts, any restrictions on dissemination of the material, and the analyst's ability to play nicely with others. Extremely specialized issues might have very few people who could meaningfully look at it.

An intelligence community document, as opposed to a spot report from a single agency, is expected to be coordinated and reviewed. For example, in reports on the Iraqi WMD program, given a field report that aluminum tubes were on order, which might have been received both at the geographic desk and the Counterproliferation Center, someone might have thought they were for use in uranium separation centrifuges. It has been reported that some analysts thought they might be used for rocket casings, which apparently was the correct interpretation. The question needs to be asked "did the original analyst contact a technical specialist in separation centrifuges, perhaps at Energetika bo'limi intelligence?"

Such an analyst might have mentioned that while aluminum has been used, maraging steel is the material of choice for Zippe tipidagi santrifüjlar. The alternative, the Helikon vortex separation process, has no moving parts and thus less demand on the tubes, but takes much more energy. If the Helikon had been under consideration, the consultation could have gone farther, perhaps to IMINT analysts familiar with power generation in the area or infrared MASINT specialists who could look for the thermal signature of power generation or the cascade itself. Both Zippe and Helikon techniques take a great deal of energy, and often have been placed near hydroelectric dam power plants so power will be nearby.

Customer feedback and production evaluation

The production phase of the intelligence process does not end with delivering the product to the customer. Rather, it continues in the same manner in which it began: with interaction between producer and customer. For the product to be useful, the analyst and policymaker need to hear feedback from one another, and they refine both analysis and requirements.

Feedback procedures between producers and customers includes key questions, such as: Is the product usable? Is it timely? Was it in fact used? Did the product meet expectations? If not, why not? What next? The answers to these questions lead to refined production, greater use of intelligence by decision makers, and further feedback sessions. Thus, production of intelligence generates more requirements in this iterative process.

Never forget the end user

Effective intelligence analysis must ultimately be tailored to the end user. Uilyam Donovan, the head of the World War II OSS, began to get FDR's ear because he gave vividly illustrated, well-organized briefings that would be common today, but were unprecedented in World War II. Today, there is danger of becoming too entranced with the presentation and less with its subject. This is also a delicate dance of overemphasizing the subjects that interest high officials, and what they want to hear declared true about them, rather than hearing what the analysts believe is essential.

Most consumers do not care how attractive a report looks or whether the format is correct. I have lost count of the number of times consumers have told me they do not care if an assessment has a CIA seal on it, if it is in the proper format, or even if it has draft stamped all over it; they just want the assessment in their hands as soon as possible, at least in time to help make a decision. Unfortunately, a number of mid-level managers get overly worried about form, and wise top-level intelligence officials make sure that does not happen.^[9]

At the same time, analysts must always be wary of mirroring the desires, attitudes, and views of intelligence consumers. They must raise awkward facts and ask probing questions, even if this makes the decision-maker's job harder.^[28]
