After reading the page, analyze it as a potential employer using the 6-category OSINT framework:
1. FINANCIAL HEALTH — Is the company growing or contracting? Any red flags?
2. LEADERSHIP STABILITY — Who leads? Tenure, promotion patterns, revolving door?
3. CULTURE (stated vs operational) — What do employees actually say vs. marketing?
4. COMPENSATION TRANSPARENCY — Is salary visible? What signals does it send?
5. MISSION ALIGNMENT — Who is the primary audience: shareholders, clients, or employees?
6. HUMINT SIGNALS — What would former employees, customers, or peers say?
For each category: state what you found, what it means, and rate it 🟢 / 🟡 / 🔴.
End with: Would you apply here? Why or why not?
