product
Evidence Requirements
1 This unit requires that you demonstrate how you have actively participated in
discussing and establishing the objectives, scope, nature and constraints of the
process rather than simply reporting tasking that was given to you. You should
provide evidence that the terms of reference were negotiated and agreed at the
start of the project and explain the reasons for any subsequent revision.
2 All aspects of the ‘range’ should be covered.
3 Simulation is not allowed for any performance evidence within this unit.
4 All evidence of your performance must be generated from real work activities in
accordance with the legislation, organisational procedures and national, local and
professional guidelines relevant to the data being obtained and processed, the
analysis, retention and dissemination of both the data and the analytical outputs.
5 Prior to commencing this unit, you should agree an assessment plan with your
assessor which details which tasks you will be undertaking to demonstrate your
competence and how they will be assessed. It is up to your assessor, working
with the guidance provided, to determine a suitable mix of assessment methods
and the amount and type of evidence that is required to judge your competence.
The preferred primary methods of generating/assessing performance evidence are:
• Evaluation of work products - Examples include formal terms of reference

documents, minutes of meetings, notes, records, correspondence and journal
entries.
• Direct observation of performance - This might involve watching or listening

to you interacting with clients, mind-mapping, brainstorming a conceptual
model, drafting etc.
• Review of electronic recordings - E.g. of meetings, calls or brainstorming.
Additional evidence for any aspect may be gained through:
• Evaluation of work products

• Direct observation of performance
• Review of electronic recordings
• Professional discussion
• Formal written or oral questioning
• Reflective case histories
• Witness testimony
• Expert witness testimony

Unit IntA2 – Obtain and evaluate information for intelligence analysis
1 This unit requires that you play a key role in the development of the collection
plan. Whilst some data will always be supplied without you asking for it, you
should be considering the requirements of each project in detail and determining
the existing and new data types and sources that will be most useful and
appropriate to the specific situation being analysed. However the data is
obtained, you should consider the relevant information types and data elements,
scope of the data extract (e.g. by time or location), formats etc as appropriate.
2 All aspects of the ‘range’ should be covered.
• Evaluation of work products - Examples include collection plans, information

access requests, evaluation criteria, notes, correspondence, raw information
and collated data in files, logs, databases and spreadsheets.

Unit IntA3 – Apply analytical techniques to interpret information for intelligence
analysis
1 This unit requires that you select and apply intelligence analysis techniques to a
project that might focus on individuals (which can be interpreted as specific
identified or unidentified people, organisations, battle groups etc) or on patterns
and trends (e.g. a tactical assessment of crimes on division or a strategic
assessment of the use of a developing technology for fraud, other crime, warfare
etc).
2 All aspects of the ‘range’ should be covered. Whether focusing primarily on
individuals or patterns and trends there should be a mix of qualitative data (e.g.
describing incidents, suspects, victims, places and methods) and quantitative
data about activities (e.g. number of incidents, timing and frequency of events,
amount and value of goods or transactions and demographics).
The preferred primary method of generating/assessing performance evidence is:
• Evaluation of work products - Examples include charts, graphs, tables, maps,

statistical calculations, reports, notes, raw information and manipulated data in
files, logs, databases and spreadsheets, correspondence.

analysis.
This unit may apply to analysing the activities of individuals or analysing patterns and
trends.

Unit IntA4 – Use inference development to make judgements based on
1 This unit requires that you interpret information on a project to develop logical
ideas and conclusions. The project might focus on individuals (which can be
interpreted as specific identified or unidentified people, organisations, battle
groups etc) or on patterns and trends (e.g. a tactical assessment of crimes on
division or a strategic assessment of the use of a developing technology for fraud,
other crime, warfare etc).
2 You should cover all aspects of the ‘range’ for Element Int4.1. The analysis may
focus on the activities of individuals or on patterns and trends but you should
consider patterns in the behaviour of individuals (e.g. repeated activities or timing
and correlation of events) and key individuals who may be responsible for
significant aspects of a pattern or changing trend (e.g. prolific offenders or new
types of players).
• Evaluation of work products - Examples include charts, graphs, tables, maps,

statistical calculations, profiles, logical arguments, reports, notes, manipulated
data in files, logs, databases and spreadsheets, correspondence, updated
collection plans and task lists.

Unit IntA5 – Develop recommendations from the results of the intelligence
1 This unit requires that you develop a range of recommendations for further data
collection and action justifying your reasons for rejecting, putting forward and
prioritising each one.
2 You must consider the involvement separately and together of each internal and
external stakeholder when generating and selecting appropriate, feasible and
realistic recommendations. External stakeholders should be interpreted as those
outside of your function in your organisation (e.g. may consider their Force
Intelligence Unit or a BCU in another police force as external stakeholders, or in
the case of the Military, an external stakeholder would be outside of the analyst’s
brigade or service).

level of detail in the analytical product should be suited to the recipient and
indeed you may need to produce several different outputs to suit different
recipients who are involved in or have some other interest in the project.

intelligence reports (such as target profiles, problem profiles, psychological and
behavioural profiles of unidentified offenders, INTREPS, SITREPS, tactical and
strategic assessments, SWOT analyses, competitor intelligence reports), case

Unit Title
Summary
This unit is about reviewing the effectiveness of your intelligence analysis product.
You will need to review the intelligence analysis product against the terms of
reference and confirm the evaluation method. You will also need to identify any
differences between the intelligence analysis product and the terms of reference, and
identify what could have been achieved by using a different methodology.
Based on the results of the evaluation you will need to identify potential
improvements to the intelligence analysis product. This will be achieved through
consultation with the customer, collecting information on the impact of improvements
and assessing the technical and cost effectiveness of improvements.
