How about both?

Using a model you've been discussing, maybe treat Intel like combat bonuses; each empire gets trait, characteristic, and training / experience values. Subtract total "Offensive" from "Defensive" (or vice versa) and that is the "percent chance of sucess".

Oversimplified, but sounds feasible to me....anyone else?

EDIT: Isn't that how "Chance to Hit" is calc'ed now??? Without using any Talisman-like features, that should always provide a chance to suceed AS WELL AS a chance to fail.
