Human-readable brief
Direction and mandate
- Authority
- Meridian Joint Defense Assessment Cell
- Customer
- Joint operations commander
- Mandate
- Collect and assess information within the declared fictional jurisdiction and report uncertainty without forcing a preferred conclusion.
- Jurisdiction
- Agreed monitoring corridor
- Intelligence requirement
- Determine whether observed movement violates the ceasefire, reflects approved rotation, or is a deception masking unrelated activity.
- Evidence threshold
- A violation finding requires time-correlated evidence from monitoring and at least one independent observation.
- Extraction plan
- Withdraw through the inspection corridor; do not pursue beyond the agreed jurisdiction.
- Debrief deliverable
- An assessment that separates observation, source report, interpretation, hypothesis, confidence, dissent, source impact, cover impact, and follow-on requirements.
Known facts
- A triggering anomaly or request has been logged.
- The authority has access to some but not all relevant records.
- At least two explanations remain plausible.
Assumptions
- Current system clocks are synchronized within the published tolerance.
- Declared access records have not yet been proven complete.
Competing hypotheses
- Administrative or technical failure
- Authorized but poorly documented activity
- Deliberate disclosure or manipulation
- Fabricated evidence intended to redirect attention

Collection and interaction
What the players do
Collection plan
- Imagery review
- Sensor event comparison
- Inspection patrol
- Partner reporting
Player interactions
- Review tasking
- Establish access
- Collect evidence
- Mark contradiction
- Request corroboration
- Choose continue, convert, or abort
- Complete extraction and debrief
Compromise and abort
- Unexpected access challenge
- Unexplained route change
- Source behavior inconsistent with prior handling
- Evidence item lacking provenance
- Role handoff not acknowledged
- Abort: Cover integrity below 35
- Abort: Source safety cannot be maintained
- Abort: Jurisdiction is exceeded
- Abort: Required evidence custody cannot be preserved
