# Operations Doctrine Summary
- Requirements are explicit and customer-linked.
- Authorities are rational from their own mandates, not aligned on a universal moral axis.
- Collection plans account for source, access, latency, exposure, reliability, and counterintelligence risk.
- Evidence remains separated into observation, source report, interpretation, hypothesis, assessment, and decision.
- Delivery includes confidence, alternatives, gaps, implications, and reason codes.
- Debrief preserves sources, access, contradictions, and follow-on requirements.
- Success is broader than acquisition or combat.
