Osintful (adjective):
Describes something or someone characterized by a keen ability to gather, interpret, and synthesize openly available information into coherent insight.
You can think of it as combining the spirit of insightful with the practice of open-source intelligence (OSINT). An “osintful” analysis, for example, extracts meaningful patterns from public data; an “osintful” person excels at discerning truth from the noise of the information landscape.
Linguistically, it fits neatly into English morphology: OSINT (a noun) + -ful (a suffix forming adjectives meaning “full of” or “characterized by”). Conceptually, it sits at the intersection of information science, epistemology, and even cognitive psychology, since it implies not just data collection but the wisdom to interpret it.
