Thoughts from the chart on page 7

Page 7 of  the solicitation has a graph:

I text-mined the graph for the following bright ideas:

1. PI meetings will occur (the solicitation says one will happen after the contracts are let, at the beginning of the project).
2. Detect, classify, measure and track ideas, concepts, and information in the track called "memes and deceptive messaging."
3. Recognize persuasion campaign structures and influence operations across social media sites and communities in the track called "persuasion campaigns and influence ops"
4. Identify participants and intent, and measure effects of persuasion campaigns in the track called "intent and effects"
5. Pro-actively shape opinions and beliefs through influence operations, and separately, counter-messaging of detected adversary influence operations in the track called "proactive messaging and counter-messaging"
6. Code drops are expected to occur in Q4 2012, Q3 2012, Q2 2014, and Q1 2015, along with a "mid-term exam" to select technologies for focused scaling efforts and transition (my guess: use what works as soon as possible)
7. There are integration and test efforts going on to facilitate TA 3 efforts.
8. Scenario development will take place every 8 months.

These ideas look like the crux of the expectations for TA 1 development and, combined with the description of TA 1, will be the focus of the algorithmic section of this blog.
