Intelligence analysis has many important epistemological resemblances with
science (problem solving, discovery, skillful use of tools, knowledge
verification) and is more interested in a posteriori than a priori knowledge, on
how or the basis on which a proposition may be known. The puzzle metaphor is
used in both information and archeology. Both disciplines involve collecting
evidence to build as complete a picture as possible. The process of converting
raw information into actionable processed intelligence is almost identical for
governmental and business organizations. The medical practice of diagnosing
identification, collection, analysis and dissemination is similar to that of
intelligence.
