AFI14-133 tradecraft standard for CTI

AFI14-133 is a reference guide, a tradecraft standard that provides intelligence analysis methods as approached by the military. It primarily addresses intelligence in the airspace and cyber domains. So, it can be adapted to improve CTI programs. The tradecraft standard defines the basic concepts of threat intelligence, the intelligence life cycle, the task of an analyst, and intelligence analysis standards. In addition, the airforce tradecraft defines 10 parameters that should be used to assess analytic excellence and completeness. It does not diverge from the ICDs or the intelligence analytic tradecraft; it expands on them by adding timeliness and customer engagement as key attributes. The 10 characteristics of an intelligence operation, as defined by AFI14-133, are as follows:

Timeliness: Time is an important parameter when conducting an intelligence operation (or project). On-time delivery of intelligence products eases the decision...
