The city manager tells an analyst to disable all note-taking so a Discord OSINT drill goes faster. What should the analyst defend?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Turning off notes to go faster is like running a race and throwing away the split times. It can feel quicker, but nothing is left to put in the report. PORP-style work scores what can be shown, and notes are how it gets shown.
Full Explanation
Note keeping is not optional overhead; it is how findings become a professional report. A time-boxed drill that forbids capture produces unverifiable claims and fails PORP-style scoring, which depends on sourced evidence. Discord jokes and post-hoc memory of browser overflow lists are not a methodology. Analysts should continue structured notes even when leadership frames speed as the only metric.
