The Internet is filled with all sort of nice applications that you can check out and that could help you analyze all sort of data. One of such applications is ACH. Analysis of Competing Hypotheses breaks a complex problem down into its component parts.

The program comes with multiple nice features and tools that you can check out, as well as some samples and instructions.

The application doesn't take long to install and it doesn't come with a complicated setup that you would need to complete before you can actually use it. It sports lots of nice tools and features, all neatly arranged under an intuitive graphical interface.

Analysis of Competing Hypotheses is a simple model for how to think about a complex problem. It takes you through a process for making a well-reasoned, analytical judgment.

It is particularly useful for issues that require careful weighing of alternative explanations of what has happened, is happening, or is likely to happen in the future.

ACH is grounded in basic insights from cognitive psychology, decision analysis, and the scientific method. It helps analysts protect themselves from avoidable error and improve their chances of making right calls.

This software provides a structured process for breaking a complex analytical problem down into its component parts - a full set of hypotheses (i.e., alternative explanations or outcomes), evidence and arguments that are useful in assessing these hypotheses, and judgments about the consistency or inconsistency of each item of evidence with each hypothesis.

This software does not tell you which hypothesis is best. It takes you through a structured thought process that helps you find the best available answer on your own. This thought process differs significantly from how most people normally think.

It lets you enter evidence, create a project, establish the classification, write notes, set the credibility and relevance of hypotheses. You can use it to accurately calculate the weighted inconsistency score for your intelligence analysis.

ACH is a must-have piece of software for intelligence analysis who need to calculate the most probable outcome of an event or hypotheses.
