Classified-Style Analytic Vignettes and Tradecraft Alignment

Highly Innovative Intelligence Analysis Manuals

About the Annex

This annex is a supplement to our primary intelligence analysts' manual, which applies self-disruption as an analytic tradecraft technique to identify, mitigate, and manage unconscious bias.

This annex provides:

• Realistic analytic scenarios illustrating the application of self-disruption as analytic tradecraft

• Explicit alignment with U.S. Intelligence Community analytic standards (ICD) and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) analytic tradecraft principles

• Practical guidance for instructors, mentors, and analysts conducting applied tradecraft training

All scenarios are fictionalized and unclassified but reflect real-world analytic challenges.

What intelligence analysts will get from this manual:

• Reduce unconscious bias and premature analytic closure

• Strengthen judgment under uncertainty and ambiguity

• Convert self-disruption into repeatable analytic tradecraft

• Align with U.S. IC and NATO analytic standards

• Integrate easily into existing analytic workflows

• Enhance analytic rigor, credibility, and decision support

• Benefit from the realistic vignettes for applied training and mentoring.
