D07 — Tactical Operationalization and AI-Enabled Planning

D07-E03

Target Research or Reconnaissance

Description

AI is used to identify, compare, map, profile, or screen potential targets.

Rationale

AI-assisted target research — profiling people, mapping locations, or identifying institutional vulnerabilities — is a preparatory behavior that reflects movement from abstract to concrete planning. This element is actionable: it creates a factual basis for protective action on behalf of identified or potential targets.
