FIELD GUIDE

What makes an investigation defensible?

Follow the evidence from the first query to the final decision.

Start with sources

An investigation should identify the evidence source, query, timestamp and finding. Analysts need to know where a conclusion came from.

Keep confidence and evidence distinct

A confidence label is useful context, but it is not a substitute for supporting evidence. Review both the assessment and the data behind it.

Preserve the decision trail

Record decisions, approvals and resulting actions so that another analyst can review how the investigation reached its conclusion.

Evidence first. Governance throughout.
