Operator playbook

A short guided tour of the moves analysts tend to repeat. Patterns the workspace was designed around.

Triage a region
Set the region filter in the top bar, lower the aviation cap, then toggle Conflict + News + Seismic. You'll get a fast read on whether anything kinetic happened in the last 24h.
Follow a flight
Click any aircraft to pin it in the inspector. The panel shows airline, type, altitude, speed, vertical rate, route and data age. Use Flight Lookup to find a specific callsign.
Verify a strike
Click a conflict event, read the GDELT source, drop into Street View at the coordinates for ground-level confirmation, then check the Time Range filter to see related events in the same window.
Sweep history
Drag the Time Machine scrubber back. Aviation pauses, time-tagged layers (events, seismic, conflict) re-query against the new window. Release to return to live.
