Initial reports and follow-ups

An initial briefing explains a story. A follow-up focuses on what changed, so small updates do not repeat the whole report.

Steps

  1. Read the initial report for background and the first assessment.
  2. Read follow-ups for new reporting and changes to the assessment.
  3. If a topic changes substantially, expect a new report rather than an unrelated follow-up.

Why no update arrived

Automatic reports need enough reporting, source variety and new information. The current follow-up rule requires at least 5 new alerts and 40% new alert coverage; satisfying it alone does not guarantee publication.

Done when: You can distinguish background from new developments.
