Indicators to Collect

Collect indicators such as incident frequency, reporting times, resolution outcomes, pattern shifts, policy compliance, and training participation. Include process indicators that reflect how well the organization handles reports.

Assessing Evidence Quality

Evaluate credibility, relevance, sufficiency, and timeliness. Flag gaps and uncertainties. Use a standardized rubric to rate evidence strength and document justification for each rating.

Triangulation and Cross Checking

Compare data from multiple sources to confirm findings. Consistency across reports, interviews, and records strengthens conclusions. Note discrepancies and explore plausible explanations.

Documentation and Provenance

Record the source, date, method, and analyst. Maintain a chain of custody for sensitive material. Version control ensures that updates are tracked and justifications are provided for changes.
