Information-operations detection research — open-source, pre-implementation.

specresearchsecuritypythoncsv

Why this exists

Information operations get covered as either (a) political theater or (b) classified tradecraft. The middle — the boring taxonomy, the detection heuristics, the data shape of "is this thing coordinated" — is underserved.

What it does

Specifications in docs/exported-assets/ describe the detection surface. Python scripts (standard library, 3.10+) produce CSV artifacts from public signal sources. Pre-implementation; the spec is the product for now.

What I learned

Spec-first work is undervalued. Writing the schema before the code surfaced three assumptions I would have baked in silently otherwise.
