# Civic Intelligence Literacy **Entity class:** Concept or operational method **Domain:** Telemetry and Conduct ## Definition Fluency in collection, inference, purchase, verification, fusion, and decision-making enables competent participation. The citizen-privateer understands the commission, client, authority, workflow, and credential needed to serve the mission. ## Operational role Telemetry supplies the signals from which useful intelligence is built. Bryant treats observation as ambient infrastructure and professional ethics as a question of use and conduct: how signals become findings, how findings become decisions, and what standard each step meets. Good-faith participants bring their character into the tasks, sensors, commissions, and agents they operate. **Architecture connections:** [[wiki/Telemetry|Telemetry]] · [[wiki/Sensing Infrastructure|Sensing Infrastructure]] · [[wiki/Intelligence Fusion|Intelligence Fusion]]. ## Relationships - **article-linked mechanism or framework:** [[wiki/Citizen-Privateer|Citizen-Privateer]]. - **article-linked mechanism or framework:** [[wiki/Four-Board Intelligence Labor Model|Four-Board Intelligence Labor Model]]. - **article-linked mechanism or framework:** [[wiki/Use Governance|Use Governance]]. - **collection route:** [[collections/The Civilian Intelligence Marketplace|The Civilian Intelligence Marketplace]]. - **counterterrorism architecture:** [[collections/Terrorism, Counterterrorism, and the Intelligence Environment|Terrorism, Counterterrorism, and the Intelligence Environment]]. - **source article:** [[articles/The Coming Market for Civilian Spycraft|The Coming Market for Civilian Spycraft]]. ## Sources / Provenance - [[articles/The Coming Market for Civilian Spycraft#XIII.
