🧠 Full review & update: MINDMAP.md and SWOT.md — Current-state concepts, strategy & political intelligence coverage

[pethers]

📋 Issue Type

Documentation — Conceptual mapping and strategic analysis deep review

🎯 Objective

Perform a complete deep-inspection review and update of MINDMAP.md (v1.4) and SWOT.md (v1.3) to ensure they accurately reflect the current state of the system as of v0.8.76 with significantly increased coverage of political intelligence methods, analysis templates, and the full methodology framework.

📊 Current State Assessment

• MINDMAP.md v1.4 (2026-05-03) — needs expansion for political intelligence methods
• SWOT.md v1.3 (2026-05-03) — needs deeper coverage of intelligence capabilities
• 39 analysis templates now available (many not reflected in mindmaps)
• 18 analysis methodologies (need full conceptual mapping)
• Political intelligence scripts expanded (scripts/political-intelligence/)
• Horizon stratification model (T+72h → T+1460d) needs conceptual mapping
• AI-FIRST quality model as a strategic differentiator
• v0.8.76 with significant capability growth since last review

  • Infrastructure: data-download-manifest, mcp-reliability-audit, workflow-audit, cross-run-diff, cross-reference-map
  • Domain-Specific: per-file-political-intelligence, implementation-feasibility

Existing Mindmap Branches to Verify/Expand

• Verify 15 CIA data subsystems branch is complete and accurate
• Update toolchain branch: Node.js ≥26, TypeScript 6.0.3, Vite 8.0.10, Vitest 4.1.5
• Verify 14 agentic news workflows branch
• Verify 24 agents and 91 skills branches
• Verify 8 MCP servers branch
• Update 14-language support branch
• Verify compliance frameworks branch
• Add political intelligence production pipeline as a first-class concept branch
• Add horizon stratification model branch (T+72h, T+7d, T+30d, T+90d, T+365d, T+1460d)
• Add data source hierarchy branch (IMF primary economic → SCB Swedish ground truth → WB governance/social residue)

🔧 Required Updates — SWOT.md

Strengths — Political Intelligence Capabilities

• Document 39 analysis templates as a unique institutional capability
• Document 18 codified methodologies as intellectual property
• Document analysis gate (checks 1-9b) as automated quality enforcement
• Document AI-FIRST 2-iteration quality model as a process strength
• Document OSINT tradecraft standards as professional-grade collection
• Document horizon stratification as forward-looking intelligence capability
• Document 23-artifact analysis structure as comprehensive coverage standard
• Update economic data posture: IMF + SCB + World Bank + Riksbank (4-source resilience)

Strengths — Technical Platform

• v0.8.76 on npm with SLSA provenance
• 3,319+ automated tests
• Dual deployment (AWS + GitHub Pages DR)
• 50 workflow files with automated quality gates
• Full TypeScript strict mode, no any types (ESLint error-level)

Weaknesses — Current Gaps

• Verify all listed weaknesses are still accurate
• Assess methodology documentation completeness vs. actual practice
• Evaluate template utilization rate across daily workflows
• Document any analysis gate bypass patterns or known false positives

Opportunities — Intelligence Expansion

• Document expanded use of political intelligence templates for new article types
• Document potential for cross-session intelligence patterns
• Document election-2026 scenario analysis capabilities
• Document comparative-international analysis potential

Threats — Current Risks
