D10 — Targeted Violence Pathway

D10-E05

AI-Assisted Attack Preparation

Description

AI helps organize logistics, timing, materials, routes, concealment, or contingency plans.

Rationale

AI-assisted logistics and preparation — timing, materials, routes, contingencies — is the most operationally advanced element in the targeted violence pathway. It indicates that planning has moved from ideation and narrative through target selection into detailed operational preparation. This is a maximum-urgency indicator requiring immediate coordinated response.
