# SIGINT Edition Zero Trial Results

**Date:** Mar 14, 2026  
**Time:** 20:12 - 21:17 UTC (65 minutes)  
**Status:** ✅ Successful operational trial

---

## Trial Phases

### Phase 1: Core System (v1)
**Time:** 20:12 - 20:45 UTC (33 minutes)
- **Files collected:** 405
- **Articles indexed:** 3,882
- **Coordinated narratives detected:** 325 (FALSE POSITIVES - aggregator duplication)
- **Issue identified:** Counting NewsData copies as separate sources

**Lesson:** Aggregator entry duplication inflates coordination signals

---

### Phase 2: Deduplication Fix (v2)
**Time:** 20:46 - 20:56 UTC (10 minutes)
- **Files collected:** 451
- **Unique story patterns:** 328
- **Genuine coordinated narratives:** 6 (FIXED)
- **Operational patterns:** 0
- **Red lines active:** All 5 (17-26 unique stories each)

**Improvement:** Outlet-based deduplication eliminated false positives  
**Token cost:** ~5,500 tokens per analysis = $0.025

---

### Phase 3: Framework Expansion (v3 - FULL)
**Time:** 20:57 - 21:04 UTC (7 minutes)
- **Query expansion:** 12 → 156 (core + 12 threat actor categories × 12 keywords)
- **Files collected:** 497
- **Unique story patterns:** 338
- **Genuine coordinated narratives:** 6
- **Operational patterns detected:** 1 (Authority Consolidation)
- **Threat assessment:** YELLOW (isolated institutional anomalies)

**Result:** Expanded framework working correctly  
**Token cost:** ~18,000 tokens per analysis = $0.08

## Operational Pattern Detection (10 Patterns)

### Critical Severity (4)
- **Simultaneous Action:** Multiple agencies act same day/hour
- **Narrative Lock:** 3+ outlets identical messaging simultaneously
- **Oversight Evasion:** Inspector general removed, subpoenas ignored
- **Legal Framework Rewrite:** Emergency laws, precedent violated

### High Severity (6)
- **Opposition Suppression:** Political enemies face coordinated legal/media pressure
- **Authority Consolidation:** Emergency authority replaces normal process
- **Personnel Loyalty Purge:** Career officials replaced with loyalty-tested appointees
- **Information Control:** Media blackouts, whistleblower retaliation
- **Financial Coercion:** Opponent accounts frozen, transaction monitoring weaponized
- **International Isolation:** Treaty withdrawals, ally abandonment

## Threat Assessment Levels

### 🟢 GREEN (0 signals)
Normal institutional function → Passive monitoring

### 🟡 YELLOW (1-2 signals)
Isolated institutional anomalies → Active monitoring, context gathering

### 🟠 ORANGE (3-5 signals)
Coordinated pressure on institutions → High alert, daily briefings

### 🔴 RED (6+ signals OR 3+ CRITICAL patterns)
INSTITUTIONAL CAPTURE / ORGANIZED POWER CONSOLIDATION → EMERGENCY PROTOCOLS
