[CANDIDATE FULL NAME - HOUSEHOLD ROLE] - Collection Map

OSINT-009 Domestic & Household Staff Vetting - collection workspace. Central topic = the candidate being vetted. Branches = data-point categories for household-trust vetting. Drop each collected value as a child node; expand it with where it was found. Paste raw tool output into the node’s Notes. → feeds deliverable OSINT-009.

00 · Collection Plan - PIRs & EEIs

The questions this vetting must answer before the household-access suitability recommendation is rendered. Tick each EEI as satisfied. → drives §4 Screening Requirements, §17 Verified Findings Summary, §18 Red Flag & Notable Indicators Summary, §20 Household Access-Risk & Suitability Assessment.

  • EEI: same-name candidates identified and excluded from all downstream record sets
  • EEI: consent/authorization recorded before collection begins (§5 gate)
