+# Choosing Disinformation Deployment Tools
+
+## Disinformation deployments are not all the same
+
+CogSecCollab supports deployments of different sizes and types. Deployments we've run include:
+* single analyst working with open datasets, looking for patterns of behavior and extending knowledge about disinformation creators' assets.
+* Small team (4-6 people) collaborating on a short-term data task
+* Mid-sized team (20-50 people) collecting data and doing initial analysis on disinformation incidents lasting days
+* Large team (50+ people) going from collection to response
+
+Some of the factors in tool and process choice will include:
+* Team size: big teams need different resources to keep them organised
+* Tempo: longer, more academic investigations will need different toolings to real-time responses.
+* Environment: expected output forms/ formats will affect tool choice, as will any tool constraints created by being embedded in a larger team or system
+* Localisation: is this a single language or multiple? If there are maps being used, do the map tools include the areas of interest (e.g. non-US regions, disputed territories etc)
+
+## Example: larger deployment
 
 We will have n people distributed around the world, adding data to our system.  That data is:
