Integrating, evaluating and analyzing all available data, and distilling it into final intelligence products.
Analysts integrate the data into a coherent whole, put the evaluated information in context, and produce finished intelligence that includes assessments of events and judgments about the implications of the information for the United States. They are encouraged to include alternative scenarios in their assessments and to look for opportunities to warn about possible developments abroad that could either provide threats to or opportunities for, U.S. security and policy interests. Analysts also develop requirements for the collection of new information.
