In the military, the term 'intelligence' is used to denote information gathered about a particular person, place or thing. Intelligence is a combination of the raw 'data' gathered, and the manipulation of that raw data to gain a tactical advantage.
 
In the business of private investigation, intelligence can take the form of various types of data.  When this data is applied in conjunction with known techniques, additional facts are uncovered and documented.  Documentation comes in the form of written reports, digital images and video media.
