For coups, one other thing to watch out for: be careful about statements other than alignment statements (ie which side they support) and their absence. Other statements are usually unreliable.

Alignment statements that aren't from the group themselves are more than unreliable—they're nearly always false.

Also anyone who doesn't have direct command authority on some significant force, ideally in the capital, is usually irrelevant, unless they have unusually significant political influence
