## What it does

intel-discipline-advisor runs an interactive triage for a market or competitive question. It asks 3 adaptive questions and accounts for signals already seen, available time, free or paid sources, and geographic focus.

It then returns numbered recommendations with a discipline mix such as OSINT, FININT, or TECHINT, a cadence, an executing skill, and the artifact to feed. A suspected competitor move is checked through independent channels, while battle cards, TAM/SAM/SOM work, and industry-structure questions follow different routes.

The skill can direct a question to interviews and discovery when collection work is the wrong response. A watch cadence that a team cannot keep creates false confidence, so that is a reason to match the schedule to available capacity.
