This course provides an in-depth look at Structured AnalyticTechniques (SATs) for intelligence analysis. Analysts face many obstacles in developing intelligence, some of which are introduced through human mindsets and biases. Mindsets and biases further complicate the analysis process and often impact an analyst's judgement. SATs are a series of analytic techniques that help reduce mindset related problems with analysis and provide for a structured and organized process for evaluating and analyzing intelligence. The results are more accurate analysis, a way for an analyst to validate evidence, assumptions and analytic leaps and show how an analyst came to a certain judgement.

Thinking processes play a key role in threat intelligence. Understanding how these processes impact the analysis can improve the effectiveness and outcome of the process. This course analyzes different thinking methods and teaches students how to apply these methods in intelligence analysis. Each thought process has pros and cons related to differing problem types and how problems, whether tame or wicked, are approached. Analysts will benefit by understanding which thought process is most effective for their style of thinking and how to best exploit each of the three methods as part of a problem-solving process.
