Set realistic limits and expectations
Guided analysis isn’t going to magically produce an answer in all cases. For example, trying to
establish a connection between travellers, a jihadist organization and prison radicalization will
logically need intermediate data such as prison visitation records so that correlations can be
made.

Automate a common path
Experienced analysts will develop tradecraft – ways of reliably getting from their question to an
answer. These can be identified and automate into the guided analytics system. The best path
is one which reliably produces an answer with data that we are likely to have. As a best
practice, there should not be too many options or customizations to prevent confusion.

Provide an off-ramp
An experienced user may discover their own path to the objective, or even identify a completely
new objective, while being guided. The system should provide a way to pursue this new
objective, and if possible mark the point of departure so that the user can return to the guided
path.

The ease of international travel has led to greater flow of information, goods, people and
business across borders. Inadvertently, these advancements have also made it easier for
criminals to exploit security gaps to their advantage. While technology continues to provide
officials with more intelligence, a guided analytics system presents a smarter, more efficient way
for immigration officials to navigate the mounting swamp of data at border controls so that any
anomalies can be detected swiftly and more accurately.
