To solve these problems, Heuer compiled an independent team of intelligence and Web experts to create Collaborative ACH, a Web-based platform. Collaborative ACH allows multiple analysts to assess the same set of evidence and hypotheses, and then automatically pinpoints the areas of greatest contention. The result is a much more focused, more productive discussion about a research team's disagreements. And because each team member can voice their opinions remotely and on their own time, there is less chance of a perceived consensus.
