Automation
A few online and downloadable tools help automate the ACH process. These programs leave a visual trail of evidence and allow the analyst to weigh evidence.
PARC ACH 2.0 was developed by Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) in collaboration with Richards J. Heuer, Jr. It is a standard ACH program that allows analysts to enter evidence and rate its credibility and relevance. Another useful program is the Decision Command software created by Dr. Willard Zangwill.
SSS Research, Inc. is an analytic research firm that created DECIDE. DECIDE not only allows analysts to manipulate ACH, but it provides multiple visualization products.
Competing Hypotheses is an open source ACH implementation.
