What It Is

• Build a route that creates observation opportunities
• Add time, distance, and decision points
• Aim for detection, not drama

Why It Works

• Force surveillance to follow through changing conditions
• Use route changes to repeat exposure
• Watch for the same person reappearing

When To Use

• Run it before sensitive meetings or locations
• Use it when you suspect a tail
• Apply it during high-risk movements

Mindset

• Stay calm, patient, and observant
• Collect data rather than hide
• Rely on time, awareness, and discipline

Route Structure

• Open with a baseline leg
• Funnel through a channelized segment
• Hold at a pause point
• Reach a decision point, then sterile exit

Observation Checklist

• Note any person or vehicle that reappears
• Flag anyone holding distance across locations
• Watch for mirrored speed or pace
• Mark anyone photographing your activity

Decision Matrix

• No repeats: proceed, likely clear
• One anomaly: continue and collect more
• Two linked anomalies: assume surveillance, add distance
• Confirmed pattern: abort and disengage

Execution Rules

• Hold a normal cover story and appearance
• Build friction without breaking cover
• Never assume you are clear
