       | provides capabilities for geospatial analysis, map verification,
       | and location intelligence."

       | The workflow-first organization is the right call, most OSINT

       | for is link rot, 322 tools is manageable to curate now but these
       | repos go unmaintained fast, and a dead link in the middle of an
       | active investigation is worse than not having the directory at
       | all, any automated health checking on the links?

         | Then again, they do make mention a bout this being open source,
         | and ,living in some github repo already
         | (https://osintradar.com/faq#contribute )...but, oddly, they
         | don't link to said repo.

       | They are generally useless. In particular the "people" related
       | tools are heavily biased towards the US and seem to be
       | wrappers/aggregators on other services.
       | 
       | Big waste of time.
