# Counterintelligence and Deception Review
Counterintelligence is present in every operation, not only missions labeled as leak investigations.

## Questions retained in memory

- Who had access, opportunity, placement, motive, and technical capability?
- What evidence could be planted, altered, delayed, or selectively disclosed?
- Which source or sensor may be compromised, mistaken, incentivized, or imitated?
- Who benefits from the most obvious explanation?
- What collection gap prevents discrimination among hypotheses?
- Which compartment, relationship, route, or cover should be protected before further collection?
- What damage has occurred, and what access remains viable?

## Case-file states

Anomaly → suspect file → corroborated concern → authorized investigation → assessment → containment or closure. A suspect file is not guilt.
