# OSINT Collection Sweep ## Purpose Run the journalist's desk: what a good beat reporter knows before the press release drops. OSINT is everything published, posted, rated, filed as a talk, or priced by a crowd. It is the discipline everyone thinks they already run, and the one almost nobody runs *deliberately* — because reading the news is not the same as sweeping a defined source set in a fixed order and writing down what was not there. The sweep produces a labeled inventory, not a verdict. **Collection is not fusion.** A sweep gathers and labels; rating confidence across disciplines belongs to `mi-fuse-all-source`. This matters more in OSINT than anywhere else, because OSINT is the discipline most likely to hand you a vivid, quotable, entirely uncorroborated story. ## When to Use It Use it when you need to know what a company is saying, what is being said about it, and where those two diverge. Use it when a positioning question is live, when a battle card needs its objection-handling layer, or when something in the public record changed and nobody can say what. Do not use it when: - **You need review-level depth on customer pain.** This sweep flags the clusters; `mi-mine-voice-of-customer` mines them with quoted evidence. - **You need the full competitor set mapped.** Run `mi-scan-market-landscape` first — sweeping one company in a market you cannot name produces a profile with no denominator. - **You ran this recently.** Run `mi-watch-competitors` and diff instead
