# Timeliness, Relevancy, Accuracy **Timeliness (Recent or current data)** Intelligence sources must be up to date. Threats diminish, change, and evolve. Adversary groups adopt different tactics. You must assess whether an intelligence source can research and disseminate updates in a timely manner. **Relevancy (Does it pertain to your objective)** Intelligence sources must match their use case. Example: a threat intelligence source that focuses on Windows security is of limited use if your systems are primarily cloud applications accessed via Chrome OS workstations. **Accuracy (Is the intelligence correct?)** Intelligence sources must produce effective results. Accuracy can also refer to whether the intelligence is of a general or specific nature. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
