Robert David [email protected]
Prepared 24 October 2002From Chapter 15, The New Craft of Intelligence

Rule 1Decision-Support is the Raison d’etre
• Data vs. information vs. intelligence
• Discovery, discrimination, distillation, delivery
• Intelligence defined by product, not source
• Answer the question!• Then ask, what next?
Question in Context Is?F1
F2
F3 Tools Thinking
What Next?F4

Rule 2Value-added comes from analysis
• Analysis of all sources, rather than secret sources, are the core competency of the intelligence world.
• Problem with spies (and most analysts) is they only see 2% of the relevant information.

®
Rule 3Global Coverage matters more
• Must go from 80% on “hard targets” to 80% on “global coverage.”
• Surprise is avoided only by casting a wide net in 29+ languages.
• Open sources are a national insurance policy against surprise
EXAMPLES:
• French Steel Industry
• India-Pakistan Nuclear Bake-Off

Rule 4Non-traditional threats are critical
• Disease• Water scarcity• Energy scarcity• Genocide• Migration• Crime• Proliferation• Terrorism

Intelligence without translation is ignorant
• USA failed to translate captured documents from first World Trade Center bombing and from Philippines
• Need global network of on-call translators in 31+ languages
• Web-based

Rule 6Sources (& methods) balance matters more
• Must strike better balance between– technical (-) and
human (+) collection
– secret (-) and open sources (+)
– collection (-) and processing (+)
– production (-) and reflection (+)
![Page 8: ® New Rules for the New Craft of Intelligence Robert David Steele bear@oss.net Prepared 24 October 2002 From Chapter 15, The New Craft of Intelligence.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55149f56550346d36e8b592e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Rule 7“Two levels down” is the new standard
• Nation-states are old targeting standard
• New standard is at the province, company, and individual level
• This is a double order of magnitude increase in the difficulty of being adequate
State Targets -- Lots of Assets
Organizational Targets -- Very Few Assets
Individual Targets -- Virtually No Assets

®
Rule 8Processing matters more, is core competency
• Multi-lingual wide nets will dramatically increase complexity and amount to data
• Global coverage and multi-lateral alliances require global web-based processing
• Human productivity depends on processing
Philip Emeagwali received worldwide publicity in 1989 for using 65,000 processors to perform the world's fastest computation of 3.1 billion calculations per second.

Rule 9Cultural intelligence is fundamental
• More important than political or economic or military intelligence
• Requires deep skills in history and language
• Cannot teach this--must hire those that already have it (e.g. second generation Arabs)

Rule 10Geospatial and time tagging are vital
• Given the increase in relevant data, automated pattern analysis and anomaly detection are vital.
• Geospatial and time attributes on all data enable intermediate processing.
Show me everything about this space in this timeframe, right now, on my desktop.

®
Rule 11Global open source benchmarking mandatory
• In order to detect change around the world, a multi-national effort to benchmark global open sources is mandatory.
• This will set stage for “spikes” and patterns that can trigger classified collection.

®
Rule 12Counterintelligence matters more
• Counterintelligence must be a discipline in its own right, with protected funding and long-term specialists.
• Non-state terrorists who are already citizens require street-level counterintelligence.

®
Rule 13Cross-fertilization matters more
• Old approach: consumer to analyst to collector to source--the linear paradigm
• New approach is the diamond paradigm where collectors and analysts help consumers talk directly to sources
Consumer
Source
Collector Analyst

®
Rule 14Decentralized intelligence matters more
• In the age of distributed information, “central intelligence” is an oxymoron.
• Knowing who knows matters more than knowing something
• Just enough, just in time intelligence creation

®
Rule 15Collaborative Work & Informal Deals Rise
• Intelligence collectors and analysts will have personal “brands”
• Peer to peer networks will form quickly to tackle new problems
• Electronic access more important than physical location
![Page 17: ® New Rules for the New Craft of Intelligence Robert David Steele bear@oss.net Prepared 24 October 2002 From Chapter 15, The New Craft of Intelligence.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55149f56550346d36e8b592e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
®
Rule 16New Value is Content + Context + Speed
• Old paradigm separated secrets from sources, and was insensitive to timing and context
• New paradigm places value on content in context, delivered at the right time.
![Page 18: ® New Rules for the New Craft of Intelligence Robert David Steele bear@oss.net Prepared 24 October 2002 From Chapter 15, The New Craft of Intelligence.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55149f56550346d36e8b592e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
®
Rule 17Collection based on gaps versus priorities
• Priorities should rule only the first effort.
• After that, focus must be on gaps.
• Something on everything is better than everything on just a few targets.
• Global reach is helpful

®
Rule 18Collection doctrine more sophisticated
• FIND the data if you already know it
• GET the data if it can be gotten free from an ally or NATO or the church
• BUY the data from the private sector
• TASK classified collectors as a last resort
FIND -- free, internal
GET -- free, allies
BUY -- low cost
TASK -- expensive

Rule 19Citizen “Intelligence Minutemen” Vital
• “Hive mind” is the essence of 21st Century intelligence
• Creating a Smart Nation depends on mobilizing and harnessing all citizens
• Virtual intelligence networks everywhere

Rule 20Production based on needs versus capabilities
• Forget about routine or recurring production
• New craft demands that all products be tailored to specific needs
• Spend more time thinking, traveling, and talking to consumers--less time writing

Rule 21Strategic intelligence matters more
• Estimative intelligence must be restored as one of the primary objectives of analysis
• Intelligence must support preventive action (in advance of the threat’s maturing), and budget trade-off decisions

®
Rule 22Budget intelligence is mandatory
• Analysis of the national budget is the best way of determining if policymakers are informed by intelligence
• When spending is not enough for certain threats, this deficiency must be made public.

Rule 23Public intelligence drives public policy
• Secret intelligence alone cannot assure public safety or sound policy, hidden costs
• Public intelligence estimates and public discussion of intelligence budgets is now essential
Selected Opinions
• McDaniel -- turf protection
• Moynihan -- high costs
• policymakers uninformed
• government not accountable
• public left out of debate
• Ellsberg -- conceals policy

Rule 24Analysts are Managers, Collectors are Analysts
• Analysts must be managers of people, money, priorities, and information.
• Collectors must be analysts and bring to collection a deep knowledge of the target, the source, and the requirement.Analyst:from introvert in cubicle
to extrovert handling people.
Case officer from cowboy hip-shooter to thoughtful historian.

®
Rule 25New Measures of Merit--ISO Standards
• Gross results no longer acceptable--numbers of reports, of recruitments,
• Evaluation based on usefulness of answers across all topics
• Need ISO standards that can be shared across multi-national boundaries
![Page 27: ® New Rules for the New Craft of Intelligence Robert David Steele bear@oss.net Prepared 24 October 2002 From Chapter 15, The New Craft of Intelligence.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55149f56550346d36e8b592e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
®
Rule 26Multi-lateral burden sharing is vital
• We still need spies and secrets that no one else can find or learn.
• However, the great majority of intelligence in the future is only possible if we work together in multi-lateral teams.

United Nations--Possibly Useful
• Department of Public Information (DPI) is being restructured
• Secretary General wants global decision support network instead of 77 isolated libraries
• Need UN intelligence for peacekeeping ops
