Use-Case Fit Criteria

A use case fits Intelligence Research OS when it needs:

• multiple source types
• source provenance
• repeated comparison over time
• weak-signal interpretation
• synthesis into a decision or deliverable
• strict citation discipline

A use case does not fit when it only needs:

• a calendar reminder
• a simple RSS feed
• one-off search without synthesis
• raw scraping with no interpretation
