Vector follows structured analytic tradecraft. The standards below are the contract behind every assessment.
Every judgment traces to open, technical or human sourcing. Unsourced assertion is not analysis.
We state likelihood explicitly — high / moderate / low — and distinguish it from the quality of underlying evidence.
Alternatives are weighed against evidence, not the analyst’s prior. Dissent is recorded, not buried.
Forecasts ship with observable indicators, so a reader can track whether a scenario is materialising.
No locations, methods, active identities or operations. Every report is vetted before distribution.
