One-sentence brief
A credible intelligence game should make organizational judgment, evidence quality, time, law, and consequences playable without turning real-world tradecraft into a tutorial.
INTERNATIONAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS
How raw material is authenticated, translated, normalized, linked, corrected, and protected from circular reporting.
ORIENTATION
A credible intelligence game should make organizational judgment, evidence quality, time, law, and consequences playable without turning real-world tradecraft into a tutorial.
WORKING BRIEF
A document can be genuine while its contents are false; a source can be reliable while one report is wrong. Processing must separate item authenticity, content accuracy, source reliability, completeness, handling integrity, translation quality, relevance, and independence.
Every transformation should retain the original item, source and collection metadata, timestamps, translations, redactions, derivative links, and a correction history. Deleting a bad record hides institutional learning; marking and propagating a retraction preserves it.
Backlogs, fatigue, transliteration, fuzzy name matching, machine translation, entity resolution, and automated summarization can manufacture false certainty. Human review is essential where liberty, force, or diplomatic consequences are at stake.
Evidence objects expose provenance trees, alternate translations, missing metadata, duplicate-source paths, and correction cascades. Players spend time to inspect raw records and cannot average conflicting source grades into one magical truth score.

Before using this system for a country scenario, identify the jurisdiction’s actual legal authorities, institutional boundaries, language and historical context, oversight channels, evidence limitations, and population safeguards. Do not reskin one national agency model and call it universal.
