Intel Discipline Advisor

Purpose

Triage a competitive or market question into the right intelligence response: which of the eight collection disciplines to run, on what cadence, feeding which artifact, executed by which skill. The intelligence-collection-disciplines compendium holds everything about every channel; this advisor answers the question a busy PM actually has — "given what's on my desk, which two or three channels matter, and where do my limited hours go?" Running every discipline on every question is the failure mode; scoping to the decision is the craft. The advisor teaches the mapping as it routes, so by your third session you won't need it. That's the goal.

Input

Works best with: the decision or question on your desk, in your words — "I think [Competitor A] is building something," "my TAM slide got shredded," "sales keeps getting surprised." Also useful: any signal you've already noticed (a job posting, a pricing change, an earnings remark), your time budget, and whether you're limited to free sources.

Anything supplied with the invocation itself — text after the skill name, a pasted context dump, or an appended ARGUMENTS: line — counts as answers already given. Use it and skip whatever it covers; don't re-ask.

Arriving empty-handed? That works too. The advisor opens by asking what's on your desk, with enumerated situations to pick from.

Example invocation: Intel discipline advisor: two of their senior engineers just followed our CTO on a preprint server, and their careers page doubled — what do I run?
