# OSINT Investigation

Start with what little is available: a partial sign, a few video frames, a sparse
public profile, or disconnected records. Extract overlooked details, turn them
into testable leads, and follow them across images, documents, specialist platforms,
maps, archives, and technical records. Choose the next action that could change
the answer. Preserve originals, challenge the leading explanation, and report
uncertainty where verification ends. A plausible match is a lead until it survives
comparison; sparse input does not justify invented detail.

## When to Activate

- Solve multi-step OSINT CTF challenges or open-source investigations from a photo,
  video clip, document, public profile, domain, or a few disconnected clues.
