## Conceptual Guidance

Information operations are classified by:

* **operation\_type**: Attribution of who's behind it
* **medium**: Platform or channel used
* **target\_audience**: Intended recipients
* **attribution\_confidence**: Certainty of attribution

**Disinformation** vs **Propaganda**: False information vs biased but not necessarily false narratives.
