Narrative Mind Week 3 H4D Stanford 2016
1. Team Narrative Mind
Stanford University
Sponsor: US Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER)
The Narrative Mind team contains experts in software engineering, social media design, and
web-based information operations (IO). We seek to develop tools that will optimize discovery
and investigation of communication trends on social media.
Weekly Total: 12 interviews
Users: 9
Experts: 23
Buyers: 4
Cumulative Total: 36 interviews
2. Hypotheses ❏ “C2” and “Recruiting” are sufficiently granular content categories.
❏ Advanced warning virality prediction is valuable for countering threats early.
❏ Content categorization is central to analyst workflow.
❏ Provide higher-level information around adversaries’ organizational structure
Experiments ❏ Focused on getting sponsor to re-articulate original problem.
❏ Explicitly asked for thoughts on crowdsourcing mechanism.
❏ Interviewed end users about their tasks and current tools, as well as our own
hypotheses
Results ❏ Look to identify some way of tracking how organizations shift over time, and how
they interact with each other
❏ Geospatial information is valuable, more so that social network analysis
❏ Government agencies are OK with crowdsourced tools
Actions Testing our two main MVPs:
1. Organizational chart
2. Social network map
Customer Discovery
3. Mission Model Canvas
- Categorize social media posts
and users by content for
monitoring and tactical purposes.
- Track how groups use
technology over time.
- Gnip/Twitter
- Facebook
- CrowdFlower,
Samasource, or
Mechanical Turk
- Pre-existing social
media service and micro-
labor aggregators
- Third-party access
platforms for social
media
#1: ARCYBER Analysts

- OS tool for
collaboratively tracking
organizational change.
#3: Business Analysts?

create alerts for important, time-
sensitive threats.
- Use design of now-defunct
Palantir Torch as inspiration for
how to present content in a
streamlined manner.
- Force multiplier for intelligence analysts: receive cleaner, pre-categorized data, target the
most urgent priorities.
- Increase throughput to quantify content.
- Improve the categorization of unstructured social media data points using crowdsourced
micro-task labor.
