One problem often associated with presenting intelligence conclusions is that there can be lacks of consistency in communicating how "good" or "strong" the conclusions are. For example, it is very common to include in a report a phrase such as, "it has been reported that. . . ." Such a phrase really provides no useful CI to the end user. That is because it fails either to identify the source (which could allow at least some determination of the likelihood that the data is correct) or to give the CI analyst's opinion on how accurate that report actually is.
