# Strategic Intelligence Research

> A library of articles and research presentations across technology, security, institutions, and society.

The homepage is the Collection: articles, study presentations, and audio in one searchable catalog. About explains SIR’s purpose and approach. Each article identifies its author, model assistance, and the original study it discusses. Preserve qualifications, limitations, and source page references.

## Start here

- [LLM reader guide](https://www.strategicintelligenceresearch.org/agent-guide.md): How to find evidence, retrieve text, follow related formats, and cite the right work.
- [Questions and answers](https://www.strategicintelligenceresearch.org/questions.jsonl): Start with a question; each answer includes evidence and limits. Coverage is selective, not the whole collection.
- [Content index](https://www.strategicintelligenceresearch.org/content-index.json): Choose a research family, document role, text URL, and citable section; avoid treating adaptations as independent studies.

All three studies are available as text, including The Terminal Experiment. Markdown copies reproduce published page content, including slide text and methods. The Terminal HTML interface retains its courtesy passphrase, but its full text needs no passphrase. Interactive behavior remains available in HTML. Published documents, PDF text, figure labels, and podcast transcripts are included below. Transcript review status and legacy document qualifications remain in the text.

Existing rights and third-party attributions still apply. This index does not grant a new content licence.

## Questions with evidence

Each answer retains its evidence, limitations, and distinction between study findings and article interpretation.
- [Which countries and evidence did the study compare?](https://www.strategicintelligenceresearch.org/research/cyberspace-policy-resilience/explainer/#question-cyber-method): Study methods. The documents show what institutions reported, which may differ from implementation. The comparison is a snapshot of the evidence collected for the 2025 study; exact collection dates are not reported in the published explainer.
- [Do more coded references mean better cybersecurity?](https://www.strategicintelligenceresearch.org/research/cyberspace-policy-resilience/explainer/#question-cyber-counts): Explainer author’s interpretation. The counts describe attention within the analyzed material. They do not establish policy effectiveness, implementation quality, or a ranking of national cybersecurity performance.
- [What U.S. coordination problems does the study identify?](https://www.strategicintelligenceresearch.org/research/cyberspace-policy-resilience/explainer/#question-cyber-coordination): Study findings. These are findings from the study’s documentary comparison, not measurements of the effect of any particular rule or a description verified against today’s policies. The article’s three-state hospital example is explicitly illustrative.
- [How much evidence addresses Web 3.0?](https://www.strategicintelligenceresearch.org/research/cyberspace-policy-resilience/explainer/#question-cyber-web3): Study findings. These counts concern one coding theme, not all 989 tagged references or a count of documents. They do not establish that Web 3.0 is ineffective or show how widely it is deployed today.
- [What does the study recommend for U.S. policy?](https://www.strategicintelligenceresearch.org/research/cyberspace-policy-resilience/explainer/#question-cyber-recommendations): Study recommendations. These are policy proposals, not interventions whose effects were tested by this study. Lessons from smaller or more centralized countries may not transfer directly to the U.S. federal system.
- [Who took part in the study, and can they represent Florida?](https://www.strategicintelligenceresearch.org/research/police-technology-privacy-public-trust/explainer/#question-participants): Study methods. These small volunteer samples cannot be treated as representative of all Florida residents or police officers.
- [What did civilians and officers say about privacy?](https://www.strategicintelligenceresearch.org/research/police-technology-privacy-public-trust/explainer/#question-privacy): Study findings. The questions were worded differently, and these are self-reported opinions from small volunteer samples. They do not measure the prevalence of privacy harms or statewide public opinion.
- [Did having a voice make people follow the law?](https://www.strategicintelligenceresearch.org/research/police-technology-privacy-public-trust/explainer/#question-voice): Study findings. The groups answered different questions. The officer question concerned citizens, although the results chapter describes it as concerning officers themselves. These responses do not establish that participation caused greater compliance.
- [Which research questions remain unanswered?](https://www.strategicintelligenceresearch.org/research/police-technology-privacy-public-trust/explainer/#question-unanswered): Explainer author’s interpretation. This is the article author’s comparison, not a conclusion attributed to the dissertation. The assessment is limited to the printed instrument; the article notes inconsistent descriptions of the survey format. Planned interviews did not proceed, limiting the study’s depth.
