Q03: Kill Chain Interventions

Core research question

The Question

Given Q1 and Q2, where can technology, investigation, or enforcement intervene in the lifecycle to disrupt exploitation.

Q3 traces each exploitation type -- grooming, sextortion, production, coordinated enterprise -- as a harm-signature trajectory through offense stages, and identifies where in that trajectory intervention has the most leverage. That analysis, grounded in federal court records, is developed in full in the paper.

Read the Analysis

Section 5 provides lifecycle analysis, Section 6 provides disruption, and Section 7 provides design-level prevention.
