SAR Reference Corpus

Five reference documents covering the core knowledge domains for Mission Reunite lost pet intel analysis.

Files

File	Content
scatter-radius.md	Distance models by species/size/terrain/time. Phase-based probability envelopes.
behavior.md	Behavioral phases (panic/denning/exploration/survival). Dogs vs. cats. Temperature effects. Breed-specific notes.
weather.md	Weather effects on movement and detection. Open-Meteo interpretation guide. Strategic overlays.
terrain.md	Linear feature优先级. Cover quality. Creek beds (#1 priority). OSM terrain analysis. Urban/rural adjustments.
briefing-template.md	Standard intel brief format. New case pipeline. Staleness check workflow. Example (Gracie).

Quick Lookup

Terrain in movement_model

Terrain features are NOT posted as a separate enrichment type. Use the Maps skill to query OSM features near the LKP, then embed findings in the movement_model enrichment:

{
  "type": "movement_model",
  "source": "echo-intel",
  "data": {
    "terrain_flags": ["creek-riparian", "wooded-trail", "fenced-yards", "rail-trail-grassland"],
    "terrain_notes": "Creek bed 0.3mi east is primary corridor. Industrial structures provide cover to south."
  }
}

Valid terrain_flags: creek-riparian, wooded-trail, fenced-yards, rail-trail-grassland, industrial-structures, residential, open-grass-park, parking-lot, agricultural-field.

Phase-Based Search Priorities

Phase 1 (Panic/0-2hr):    Linear corridors. Initial heading. Mile radius.
Phase 2 (Denning/2-24hr): Intensive grid. 1/2-mile. All shelter.
Phase 3 (Explore/24-72hr): Expand radius. Dawn/dusk windows. Food sources.
Phase 4 (Survival/72+hr):  Traps. Scent dogs. Community alerts.

Weather Decision Tree

Temp <40°F:   Contract radius 60-80%. Check heated structures.
Temp >85°F:   Dawn/dusk only. Water sources.
Wind >15mph:  Scent work marginal. Ground tracks visible.
Precipitation: Pet stationary. Intensive local search.
Darkness:     Thermal. Dawn/dusk windows optimal.

Terrain Top 3

1. Creek beds / Drainage — water + cover + wildlife trails. #1 priority.
2. Wood lines / Tree lines — shade, concealment, animal paths.
3. Fence lines — familiar scent, boundary guidance.

Usage

1. Load case from Mission Reunite API
2. Query Open-Meteo for weather at LKP
3. Query Maps skill for terrain features near LKP
4. Apply scatter-radius → probability envelope
5. Apply weather overlay → adjust priorities
6. Fill in briefing-template → post to case
