Who are we going scouting with?

          Before revealing one (however, widely known) secret about maximizing the effectiveness of intelligence, it is necessary to take a closer look at those who actually do or will do commercial intelligence in a company?

It is about the basic skills and knowledge that your future employees and specialists should have. You will have to create and organize the work of an almost complete intelligence unit. Moreover, your team will eventually master the knowledge of the intelligence specialty, except for those methods and techniques that are not used in commercial intelligence, based on its specifics.

From our practical guide, you already know that reasonable care and caution should be exercised when selecting a commercial intelligence team. (The principles of selecting and building an exploration team are covered in Part Two of our guide.)

If you have ever read “combat documents”, for example, intelligence reports on some problem, now by structure of construction, I will reproduce a similar product. How much to trust it is for you to judge! It is better to double-check everything yourself, especially if the topic of research is close and in demand by you. In the future, I will explain why the document is composed in this way! This also directly relates to the very essence of our narrative.

So:

Why is it that (even) entry level analysts, will do the job much better and more efficiently than artificial intelligence (generative network)?
