Question 1

What does the Case File Planner do?

Accepted Answer

You paste a collection target or investigation question. OSINT 101 returns a case-file style plan using the intelligence cycle and PEAK method, with citations to real training modules. It is not a chat-with-the-site product and it does not run collection for you.

Question 2

Is this legal to use?

Accepted Answer

The planner is educational. You must only apply it to lawful, authorized work. Public data is not automatically fair game. Follow local law, workplace rules, and the ethics modules before collecting anything.

Question 3

Which lessons are open?

Accepted Answer

All content is free while we finish setting up. Beginner, intermediate, and advanced lessons are open, and the case-file plan includes the advanced lanes.

Question 4

Does it need an AI key?

Accepted Answer

No. If an OpenRouter key is configured, the plan is drafted with AI and then grounded in the module catalog. If no key is present, you still get a full catalog-based case file with the same citations.

Question 5

Will it hack, scrape, or investigate a real target for me?

Accepted Answer

No. The output is a study plan and collection outline. It will refuse requests that look like unauthorized access, harassment, or other unlawful tasking.
