- Weak Signals & Emerging Issues
- The detective archetype recurs across mature corporate foresight functions, where peripheral-source cultivation is treated as the signature labor of the practice rather than as ancillary research, an instantiation pattern Choo (1999) documents in his synthesis of how organizations institutionalize environmental-information work.

Choo describes how organizations formalize environmental scanning as a managed, sustained function, but names no detective archetype and does not call source cultivation its signature labor.
“A formal scanning system is one that is planned, sustained and coordinated.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
