OSINT-041 Probabilistic Forecasting Dashboard - Collection Map

OSINT-041 Probabilistic Forecasting Dashboard - collection workspace. Central topic = the forecast question set / strategic topic the dashboard tracks. Branches = the data-point categories for this forecasting dashboard. Drop each collected datum as a child node; expand it with the source, date accessed, and what it implies for dashboard configuration or live probability updates. Paste raw tool output into the node’s Notes. → feeds deliverable OSINT-041 and re-scores upstream forecasts in OSINT-037, OSINT-038, OSINT-039, and OSINT-040.

00 · Collection Plan - PIRs & EEIs

The questions this collection must answer + the essential elements of information (EEI) for each. Tick as satisfied. → drives dashboard configuration, live forecast scores, signpost status, and escalation routing.
