Radar's collection stream — OSINT headlines ingested (feed-first, deduped) from curated, Admiralty-graded (A/B) vendor/research feeds and stored for the graph. Items mentioning the region are flagged MENA.
Field of view: this collection is deliberately scoped to MENA-focused OSINT — only a fraction of the ~320 tracked global groups operate in any one region. An absence here means not observed in our collection, never not a threat: collection scope bounds what we can see, it is not a claim about what exists.
| Criterion | Question |
|---|---|
| Currency | How timely is it? Is it still valid, or has the situation moved on? |
| Relevance | Does it actually answer our requirement, at the right level of detail? |
| Authority | Who is behind it? What is their access, expertise, and track record? |
| Accuracy | Can it be corroborated? Is it internally consistent and evidence-backed? |
| Purpose | Why does it exist — to inform, or to persuade/deceive? Who benefits from belief? |
Authority + track record → source RELIABILITY (A–F). Accuracy + corroboration + Purpose → information CREDIBILITY (1–6). The two axes stay independent: a reliable source can carry inaccurate information, and vice-versa.
