Analytic approach and methodology
Ensure core techniques are integrated into sense making to maintain analytic rigor.
Analytic design ends with an
... [Show More] analytic assessment that includes a judgment explaining how analytic findings address the BLANK1, the confidence level associated with that judgement, and plausible BLANK2 or explanations for gaps and uncertainty.
1- Intelligence question
2-alternative hypotheses
BLANK use relevant data in predetermined frameworks to achieve objective, externalized insight into a problem, or question (e.g. decision tree or back-casting).
Structured analytical techniques
When designing an analytic approach you may want or need to consider a specialized technique that more deeply analyses the intelligence question. Choosing the appropriate technique involves the following:
Assessing the nature of the problem or type of question, the data available for analysis, and the timeline for analysis.
Collaboration is working with the other stakeholders to develop a project or accomplish a task. In analytic design collaboration ensures diversity of perspective and depth in expertise throughout analysis. Which of the choices below best examples the analytical design areas where collaboration can improve analytic design and strategies for collaborating.
Framing and knowledge review AND Methodology building and perform analysis
The characteristics of a good analytic question are:
Addresses a gap relevant to the client, has a subject and a verb, is open-ended and has specificity appropriate to client mission.
During issue development, what do you do when you don't have an intelligence question?
Start with understanding the client's requirements, identify relevant topics, issues, and intelligence gaps, that break down into specific questions that can be analyzed.
Issue development tools include tools and frameworks to help generate client-relevant initiative questions for analysis: T/F?
True, yes.
During the framing stage of analytical design, which are must suitable structured analytical techniques to employ?
Idea generation, argument map and four ways of seeing
During the perform analysis stage of the analytical design, which are most suitable structured analytical techniques to employ?
Argument map, key assumptions check, and four ways of seeing.
Explain how to assess/evaluate analytic finding
Determine what analysis has provided as an "answer" to the question. Build an argument map to understand the strength of the case supporting the judgement.
Using argument mapping or logical reasoning to determine infilling critical gaps orc hangin assumptions would change the judgment. What concept does this describe?
Assess/evaluate analytic finding
What three components are part of framing under the rubric of the DIA's analytical design tradecraft guidance?
Client requirement, crafting question, and scoping
What are the 4 components that are part of evaluate analysis under the rubric of the DIA's analytical design tradecraft guidance?
Confidence selection, analysis of alternatives, impact of remaining gaps, assess/evaluate analytical finding and assumptions
What are the three components that are part of perform analysis under the rubric of the DIA's analytical design tradecraft guidance?
