Humint does not replace your monitoring. It covers its blind spot.
Your monitoring setup covers public sources. Press, patents, competitor websites, social media, public tenders. You have a tool for that, and it does its job.
It does not cover what your teams see. What is said at a booth, what a customer lets slip, what a technician notices at a supplier's site. No monitoring platform goes after it, because it is published nowhere.
Humint does not replace your monitoring. It covers its blind spot.
Three tools, three places, no link between them. What the self-assembled stack costs you in reassembly time, and what it loses along the way.
One team, three days, and you will see what you were not seeing.
