Most programs measure what intelligence they buy. Few can show what they actually use.
Acquisition is easy to count: feeds, memberships, subscriptions, indicators ingested. Use is harder. It is whether each source is tied to a requirement, trusted, processed, and turned into intelligence that reaches a decision in time. This assessment measures how mature your program is at using the sources it already pays for.
An inventory tells leadership what you bought. Utilization tells them what it is doing.
Two programs can own the same feeds, memberships, and subscriptions and get completely different value from them. The difference is not how much you acquire. It is how much of what you already pay for is tied to a requirement, trusted, processed, and actually used. The four domains below describe that discipline.
Acquisition language
- Three commercial feeds and two ISAC memberships
- An OSINT bundle and a MISP instance
- Forty million indicators ingested this year
- A premium subscription that renews in spring
Utilization language
- Sources tied to an active requirement
- Cost per use and cost per action, by source
- Signals that reach the decision in time
- Subscriptions retired because nothing used them
