ATTRIBUTION STANDARD
Two distinct claims. Both with confidence scores.
We make a careful distinction that matters in intelligence work: technical attribution and political attribution are not the same thing.
Technical attribution
These accounts are coordinated. This network exhibits inauthentic behaviour. This narrative propagated through this amplification chain. Observable, evidenced, confidence-scored.
Political attribution
This operation is state-backed. This network is attributable to a specific actor. More uncertain, higher confidence threshold required. We show our work and caveat accordingly.
Both come with explicit confidence scores. We don't conflate the two — and we don't claim certainty where there is none. Built for intelligence products that brief ministers and editorial products that carry legal risk.
