Abstract
Apparatus and methods described herein relate to a processor that can convert intelligence data into a data structure, and that can store the data structure in a data store. The processor can calculate an identity value for the data structure. The data structure can be immutable such that data represented in the data structure is not modified. A query engine implemented by the processor can receive a request for intelligence status data, and can query an index data store for a set of identity values correlated with data included in the request. The query engine can retrieve, from the data store, intelligence status data correlated with each identity value in the set of identity values. The query engine can also return a snapshot data structure representing at least a portion of the intelligence status data correlated with each identity value in the set of identity values, in response to the request.
