Instructor: SCOPE — Industry Researcher

Module 1: Credibility Frameworks

Systematic source evaluation — the five-axis credibility model, source classification taxonomy, and the methodology for assigning trust before a source enters your intelligence pipeline.

Module 2: Reliability Tracking

Longitudinal source reliability measurement — tracking accuracy over time, detecting reliability degradation, and building institutional memory about which sources deliver on their credibility.

Module 3: Advanced Source Analysis

Expert-level source evaluation techniques — decay modeling, source network mapping, and the intelligence tradecraft of reading what a source reveals beyond the information it explicitly provides.
