OSINT
Open-source and public data review without the busywork.
What is OSINT?
OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) is the practice of gathering public or commercially obtainable information and turning it into sourced, reviewable context for a defined research question.
"Open-source and public data review without the busywork."
What is Intelligence?
Intelligence is the structured approach of critically evaluating information to reduce uncertainty and bias, distilling those insights into predictive assessments that clarify choices and forecast the most likely outcome.
Critical Evaluation
Systematically assess information quality and reliability
Reduce Uncertainty
Minimize bias and fill knowledge gaps
Predictive Insights
Forecast outcomes and clarify decision paths
What is a research workflow?
A research workflow turns a question into clear inputs, repeatable collection, source review, and a decision-ready summary. The goal is not volume. The goal is context that can be checked, shared, and explained.
Key parts of source-backed review
- Identification & Prioritization: Systematically identify and rank subjects based on intelligence requirements
- Characterization: Build comprehensive profiles of actors, networks, and infrastructure
- All-Source Analysis: Connect OSINT with public records, commercial datasets, social context, breach signals, and technical metadata
- Risk Assessment: Evaluate collateral and downstream repercussions
OSINT practice vs review workflow
OSINT Analyst
Finding, validating, and quantifying publicly and commercially available information while searching for patterns and trends that can be confirmed across open sources is how an open source intelligence analyst goes about meeting intelligence requirements.
- Self-contained and systematic workflow
- Checklists, databases, and meticulous documentation
- Lower personal risk exposure
- Transparency and repeatability of sourced information
Reviewer
Reviewers work best when they can see a complete subject, organization, or location context without jumping between disconnected tabs. Feynman keeps the evidence, source trail, and next pivots in one place.
- 360-degree view of subjects
- Uses public records, commercial datasets, social context, breach signals, and technical metadata
- Risk-aware and collaborative by nature
- Balances case safety with comprehensive intelligence
