User Message: Hey all! We are very close to launching an OSINT beta program in the next few weeks and looking to fine tune some details. If you have time, I am looking for help with two things… 1. Do the questions in the survey make sense (looking for recommendations, if something is missing)? 2. If willing, please fil out and submit. I have turned off email tracking and only request it be placed in question 12. if you are interested in being part of our beta app. https://forms.gle/9BkgkG1vjCns8vbc8

Matrix reply from John “2PAC”:

Looked through the survey quick, I’ll just mention that for a lot of people in here, on of your biggest issues for use at work is going to tie back to Managed Attribution. We tend to be limited to what is available within the toolkit.

For some of us we don’t do Osint as we do research in pai/cai for ops not intel requirements

Matrix reply from Sac:

Beyond that, there may be a few questions that help you better understand potential customers, identify requirements

Including what research is in support of planning, assessment, execution, situational awareness

Matrix reply from Sac:

I think one thing that might be missing is time. Data used with real time current historical and/or longitudinal.
