Close cooperation between Hut 4 and Hut 8 continued after the naval cryptographers moved into their own hut. Messages recovered from Enigma passed through the same assessment process as other German naval signals intelligence. The OIC could compare intercepted traffic with intelligence from other sources and decide what action to take. Access beyond that office remained tightly restricted. Geographic sections lacked access to some material, so intelligence without an immediate operational use could be wasted even when it would have supported longer-term research.

Integrated intelligence still faced access restrictions
A common intelligence-assessment process improved operational use, while secrecy restrictions obstructed longer-term research.
