Simplicius isn't a group of analysts but a single very well organised and experienced individual.

(quote) But this brings me to the next point. Which is that due to the blog's meteoric rise there've been a lot of questions recently cropping up about how I'm able to sustain such an 'vast output'. Both the aforementioned Mercouris and Johnson have even floated the idea that this channel may be a collective, cooperative, etc. These suggestions were not ill-intentioned, but rather an understandable reaction to the prolific amount of output I'm able to sustain.
...
Also, though I'm not a Russian MOD mole and other such recently suggested notions, I will say that I've run in certain circles which allowed me an occasional peek behind the curtain of how things work. But generally, this is rarely specific information but rather more a below-the-surface understanding of how certain state/military apparatuses naturally function, their decision-making inclinations, etc., which allows me to more accurately parse out events that would otherwise be deemed ambiguous or inconclusive by the public at large. In short, it's an understanding which informs my perspective to more accurately reflect things we can't "see" beneath the surface, but can make educated assessments about that may at least be closer to the truth.
So, if I'm not an AI, collective, etc., what's the secret? I hate to let the hopefuls down, but it simply comes down to a lot of work and man hours.

The only 'secret sauce' to this is having good organizational skills by which you create a system to have a lot of information at hand, organized in a way that allows you to retrieve it quickly and efficiently. Ultimately, though it comes from years of experience of following events and knowing where to go for each piece of news; i.e. which accounts are trustworthy, which channels will have the most important morsels; basically: shortcuts, an optimization of workflow. In short, it means doing this professionally rather than as a hobbyist or simple dilettante dabbling at articles here and there when whim or fancy strikes. I take the work seriously and have created my own personally optimized pipelines and workflows over the course of years.
