managing-intelligence-lifecycle
Manages the end-to-end cyber threat intelligence lifecycle from planning and direction through collection, processing, analysis, dissemination, and feedback to ensure intelligence products meet stakeholder requirements and continuously improve. Use when establishing or maturing a CTI program, defining intelligence requirements with business stakeholders, or building feedback loops between intelligence consumers and producers. Activates for requests involving CTI program maturity, intelligence requirements, PIRs, or intelligence lifecycle management.

# Managing Intelligence Lifecycle
## When to Use
Use this skill when:
- Establishing a formal CTI program and defining its operational model
- Conducting quarterly intelligence requirements reviews with business stakeholders
- Evaluating CTI program maturity against established frameworks (FIRST CTI-SIG maturity model)
**Do not use** this skill for day-to-day IOC triage or incident-specific intelligence tasks — those use operational intelligence workflows, not lifecycle management.
## Detection Gaps & Validation
- **Collection without direction:** subscribing to every feed without PIRs yields volume, not answers. Validate that each collection source traces to a documented PIR before counting it as coverage.
- **Unanswered-PIR blind spots:** a PIR with no matching collection source is a coverage gap that produces low-confidence guesswork. Document and escalate the gap rather than fabricating an estimate.
