OSINT Workflow Transforms Note Hoarding into Actionable Intelligence
An OSINT practitioner with 3,124 notes found they couldn't answer a simple client query, revealing their system was a junk drawer. They developed the IEB (Intake, Enrich, Brief) workflow, which forces brutal minimalism with a five-line intake template. The workflow prioritizes speed and decision-making over elaborate capture, using tools like the OSINT Investigator Pack for constraint-based note-taking.

The article's real insight isn't the workflow itself but the admission that most OSINT note systems fail because they prioritize collection over retrieval—a lesson that applies broadly to knowledge management tools.
