What should an intelligence brief include?
Set out the decision to be supported, the markets or themes in scope, the audience and the time available. Existing assumptions and open questions help focus the research.
How are uncertainty and evidence handled?
The scope should distinguish evidence, analytical judgments and assumptions. Sources, coverage limitations and alternative explanations are part of the discussion, especially where information is incomplete.
Can a one-off study become ongoing support?
A defined assessment can establish the baseline for subsequent monitoring or briefings. Coverage, frequency, escalation criteria and access are agreed for the next phase.
