Concentric’s Global Intelligence Team’s Tradecraft Corner highlights analytic techniques which are unique to the intelligence profession and are widely used in the U.S. government and the private sector. Tradecraft, as defined within the intelligence community, refers to the methods and technologies used to transform multiple sources of information into intelligence products or briefings. Concentric’s tradecraft notes are not meant to be a comprehensive resource regarding how intelligence products are produced, written, or briefed. But rather, these notes are meant to help readers understand the basic concepts of intelligence production.
