USE CASES

Where this instrument fits.

  • Triage research and standards updates
  • Create Observatory signal cards
  • Decide whether to monitor, brief or ignore
  • Link signals to tools and frameworks
INPUTS

Required input fields.

  • Signal text (optional)
  • Source type (required): Primary source or official standard, Preprint, Vendor publication, News or commentary, ...
  • Novelty (required): Low, Medium, High
  • Operational relevance (required): Low, Medium, High
  • Uncertainty (required): Low, Medium, High
  • Actionability (required): Low, Medium, High

Data handling: this interface uses the L2ET protected same-origin instrument engine. Do not enter confidential, regulated, privileged, incident, medical or sensitive operational data.

METHOD

Decision Tree logic.

Scores source quality, novelty, operational relevance, uncertainty and actionability, then recommends signal destination.

Assumptions

  • Classifier is local and rule-based.
  • Source quality must be judged by the user.
  • Human review is required before publication.
INTERACTIVE INSTRUMENT

Research signal card.

Use the controls below to generate a preliminary artifact. The output is intentionally bounded and requires human review.
