  SCREEN REPORTS
  3-145. The staff uses the criteria listed below to screen incoming reports to determine whether the collection
  tasks have been satisfied:
  * Relevance: Does the information address the collection task? If not, use this information to satisfy
  other requirements.
  * Completeness: Is essential information missing? (Refer to the original collection task.)
  * Timeliness: Has the asset reported by the LTIOV as established in the original task?
  * Opportunities for cueing: Can this asset or another asset take advantage of the new information to
  increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the overall information collection effort?
  CORRELATE REPORTS TO REQUIREMENTS
  3-146. Correlating and evaluating intelligence reports to the original requirement is essential to effective
  requirements management. Timely requirements management includes dissemination and receipt of reports
  and related information to the original requesters and other users.
  3-147. The staff tracks which specific collection task originates from which requirement, ensuring the
  collected information provided to the original requester (and to all who need the information) is timely. For
  efficiency and timeliness, the staff ensures they receive the proper collection assets to determine which
  requirements have been satisfied and which require additional collection.
  3-148. The staff address the following potential challenges:
  * Large volumes of information that could overwhelm the staff’s capabilities.
  * Reports that partially satisfy collection tasks.
  * Assets reporting information without referring to the original tasking.
  * Circular reporting or unnecessary message traffic.
  3-149. Information collection assets do not submit reports that state nothing significant to report. They
  should report collection occurred but observed no activity thus satisfying the information collection task.
  Lack of activity might be a significant indicator. “Nothing observed” states more plainly that information
  collection activities occurred.
  ASSESSMENTS
  3-150. Commanders and staffs should conduct assessments before and after each engagement to update
  information collection guidance and increase their own understanding of the situation. Feedback is essential
  for maintaining effectiveness and alerting leaders of deficiencies.
  3-151. Following each assessment, staff sections should work together to tailor the information collection
  plan making it as seamless as possible by removing information sharing barriers. Feedback reinforces
  whether collection or production satisfies the original task or request, provides guidance if it does not, and
  aids in the redistribution of assets to capitalize on opportunities or fill identified voids.
