This paper posits that a theoretical model of analyst effort in tracing tasks is necessary to assist with study of the analyst. Specifically, it is clear from prior work by numerous research groups that the important factors in such a model are: the amount of time it takes for an analyst to vet a given candidate link and the amount of time it takes an analyst to find a missing link. This paper introduces a theoretical model of analyst effort as well as a simplified model. A number of simulations were undertaken in order to build effort curves to assist in evaluating numerous tracing scenarios, such as determining at what point in time an analyst should switch from vetting candidate links to manually searching for links not in the candidate list.
