# Structured Debriefing

## Purpose

Define the reviewable product that closes an operation without collapsing evidence classes or uncertainty.

## Current doctrine

- A debrief separately records observations, source reports, interpretations, hypotheses, assessments, and decisions.
- It also records unresolved contradictions, missing evidence, compromise indicators, authority-specific consequences, follow-on intelligence requirements, source-protection actions, cover-recovery actions, lessons learned, reason codes, evidence links, and event links.
- The composer may prefill from package evidence and simulation events but requires human review before export.
- A debrief does not rewrite a source claim as an authoritative fact merely because it appears in an event log.
- The JSON product and print view carry the same distinctions. Browser validation confirms observations, source reports, assessments, and contradictions remain separate after example loading and export preparation.

## Shared Constraints

- Apply [repository constraints](constraints.uai#non-negotiable-constraints).
