Intelligence analysis

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that are executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

• determine whether a received data element is related to a known data set corresponding to one or more known data elements stored in a memory accessible to the processor;
• when the received data element is related to a particular known data set, form an aggregate data set by combining the received data element with the particular known data set;
• and
• evaluate one or more analysis templates based on the aggregate data set, each analysis template corresponding to a different hypothesis, wherein evaluating the one or more analysis templates results in a determination regarding a probability that a particular hypothesis is true based on the aggregate data set.

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory accessible to the processor, the memory storing instructions that are executable by the processor to cause the processor to:
• determine whether a received data element is related to a known data set corresponding to one or more known data elements stored in the memory;
• when the received data element is related to a particular known data set, form an aggregate data set by combining the received data element with the particular known data set;
• and
• evaluate one or more analysis templates based on the aggregate data set, each analysis template corresponding to a different hypothesis related to the aggregate data set, wherein evaluating the one or more analysis templates results in a determination regarding a probability that a particular hypothesis is true based on the aggregate data set.
