SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

NATO Admiralty System for grading source reliability and information credibility. Apply automatically during OSINT, forensic investigations, legal research, entity audits, or fraud analysis — NOT for general software or casual research. Every claim gets a 2-axis grade (A-F for source reliability, 1-6 for information credibility).

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Axis 1: Source Reliability grading (A-F) with criteria and examples.
  • Axis 2: Information Credibility grading (1-6) with interpretation guidance.
  • Rules for combining grades, provenance tagging, audit trails, and handoffs in investigation workflows.

Quick Start

Instruct an AI to assign an Axis 1 letter grade and an Axis 2 numeric grade to each claim and record the results.

FAQPage Schema
What is the NATO Admiralty system for grading source reliability and information credibility?

The NATO Admiralty system grades source reliability and information credibility using two independent axes. It assigns an A–F letter grade for source reliability and a 1–6 numeric grade for information credibility to formalize OSINT and forensic investigations.

How do I grade OSINT claims using a two-axis credibility scale?

To grade OSINT claims, assign an Axis 1 letter grade (A–F) for source reliability and an Axis 2 numeric grade (1–6) for information credibility. This two-axis grading quantifies claim credibility and establishes a formal audit trail.

Can I use two-axis source grading for general research and software audits?

Two-axis source grading is designed for formal OSINT, forensic investigations, legal research, and entity audits. It is not intended for general software audits or casual research, requiring documented judgment and provenance tagging.

How does provenance tagging work with two-axis source reliability grades?

Provenance tagging records the origin and audit trail of each claim alongside its A–F source reliability and 1–6 information credibility grades. This ensures documented judgment and reliable handoffs in complex investigation workflows.

When should I use formal two-axis grading instead of casual source evaluation?

Use formal two-axis grading when your OSINT, legal research, or fraud analysis requires documented judgment, provenance tagging, and audit trails. Casual source evaluation lacks the structured A–F and 1–6 scales needed for formal compliance.

What is the best way to document information credibility for legal research claims?

The best way to document information credibility is applying a formal two-axis grading system. It assigns A–F source reliability and 1–6 information credibility grades, creating a quantifiable audit trail for legal research and forensic investigations.
