Where this has actually been used
This training underpins OSINT work done across three settings: personal-exposure assessments on C-level executives while at Allegro, external attack-surface reconnaissance for the same organisation, and OSINT instruction — I trained Allegro's anti-fraud team and separately trained the CSIRT department, well over 100 people combined. The military side of my career used the same discipline for a different purpose, which I don't detail here. The one honest gap: no hands-on OSINT experience specific to Asia or Africa — most of the collection work has been on European subjects and infrastructure.
