- Colombian justice, security, and policy practitioners

Field notes
FIDCOL frames organized crime as a set of connected value networks rather than a simple hierarchy, and separates its analysis into structural, financial, and corruption dimensions. The homepage says the observatory maps open-source reports and refreshes them every few minutes. It describes SIRIC as an in-progress Catatumbo project, with access offered by request or launch notice rather than shown as openly available.
