MODULE 01 — Special Operations
Crowdsource the collection.
Command the review.
Special Operations turns your community into a collection capability — contributors at event scale on one side, analysts in full command of the record on the other.
[01] — How it works
From standing start to standing operation.
Four moves between an idea and a live, reviewed collection effort.
Stand up the operation
Define what you're collecting, who reviews it, and how contributors participate. An operation is live in minutes, not weeks.
Mobilize the community
Invite contributors at any scale. They get a focused submission surface — no access to the wider case file, no training required.
Command the review
Every submission lands in a structured queue with provenance attached. Analysts accept, reject, and task follow-ups — nothing enters the record unvetted.
Exploit in place
Accepted material is immediately available to the graph and report studio — ready to connect, corroborate, and publish.
[02] — Capabilities
Chaos in. Signal out.
Event-scale intake
Built for the surge: hundreds of contributors submitting at once, without the queue losing shape.
Scoped participation
Contributors see the operation and nothing else. Access is role-based and enforced centrally — never by the honor system.
Structured review states
In review, accepted, rejected — explicit states with owners, so the whole team knows what's solid.
Team tasking
Organize participants into teams with their own queues, leads, and lanes of responsibility.
Live operational picture
Watch the picture develop in real time as submissions arrive and triage burns down.
Accountable by default
Every acceptance and rejection is recorded — the operation's history is part of the operation.
