Anecdotal disclaimer: I have been both an OSINT analyst and a developer supporting OSINT work in the past. I understand completely why OSINT analysts like to do things by hand - they can understand where the data comes from; they can cite sources as they go; they can tailor things specifically to their use case. Understanding the process is indeed important to knowing how we got to the conclusion.
And yet, we're frustrated when there's a panic situation and we need a report of any kind in two hours. We're frustrated when we're handed sixteen targets all at once and have to suss them out over the weekend. We're frustrated that visualizations suck and we have to custom make them ourselves. Better tooling, an opinionated process, and automation helps solve all of that, or at least advance things a bit.
Can't have anything perfect (entity resolution as #1 on the un-perfect list) but getting a tool together as well thought-out as this one is an excellent step forward. Kudos, @smicallef.
