Program Overview - Goals The Algorithm-Derived Decision Support (ADDS) Program seeks to

• Develop and judiciously apply sensemaking approaches to established, classified IC crisis scenarios to demonstrate the potential for machine-generated written intelligence products capable of providing timely and relevant decision advantage.

• Use algorithm-generated written intelligence products to accelerate and improve decision making by reducing the time (weeks/days to minutes/seconds) to deliver intelligence at machine-speed and –scale

• Advance research that will ultimately lead to the first algorithm-generated all-source intelligence products.

Program Overview – Government provided resources The government intends to provide to ADDS performers upon award:

• Diverse corpora of representative HUMINT, SIGINT, GEOINT, OSINT, and other intelligence reporting. These intelligence reporting documents will be distributed over the course of the ADDS program to drive crisis scenarios and their related, written product taskings.

• Structured templates for each type of written intelligence product to be generated in the ADDS program.
