## FAQs

Q: What is Academy Brief?
A: A one-job tool on The Intel Analyst Academy: paste a raw intel dump or notes and receive a structured brief using the academy method, with citations to real catalog topics and lessons. It is not a chat-with-the-site assistant.

Q: Is this an operational intelligence product?
A: Academy Brief is a training and education tool. It is not an operational intelligence product, does not constitute finished intelligence, and must not be used as a substitute for authorized analysis.

Q: Which lessons does the brief cite?
A: Only real catalog topics and method lessons that exist on this site — for example Intelligence Report Components, Intelligence Briefings, Estimative Language, Analysis of Competing Hypotheses, and Recommendation Framework. Citations link to those pages.

Q: How much does Academy Brief cost?
A: One free structured-brief preview. Academy Brief is included in Early Adopter ($5/month) and Pro ($10/month). Standalone Brief access is $29/month when billing is live. Payments are not live yet; lock-in follows the existing improvements waitlist. No x402 or crypto checkout.

Q: What does the structured brief contain?
A: BLUF headline, key judgments with confidence, situation, analysis tied to the dump, source assessment, alternatives and gaps, recommendations, and academy lesson citations.

Q: What happens if the AI key is missing?
A: The tool still returns a training-preview brief: it organizes the pasted dump and attaches real catalog citations so you can practice the method. It is clearly labeled as a preview, not a live model output.
