Summary/Abstract: Using creative thinking and scientific approach, the estimative analysis brings value added in the effort to overcome the Clausewitzian uncertainty of the conflict and provide warning and actionable intelligence to the decision makers. The extended analytical grids are the reflexion of Network Centric Warfare in intelligence analysis. Within an intelligence organisation and including cooperation in intelligence, they are instrumental to build networked response against networked nonconventional threats, concur to diminish the analytical errors and also salvage neglected areas of intelligence analysis. Intelligence analysis management needs to control the extended analytical grid and secure cooperation with the other grids of the system.
