Thanks for the feedback, I was trying to keep the post short. There's a description of the technique in the GitHub readme and on the front-page of the site.

For reference, the site currently supports the Analysis of Competing Hypotheses (ACH) technique [1]. ACH is a structured way of determining which explanation/hypothesis is most consistent with the available evidence.

Are there plans for any other structured analysis methodologies? Like some from this book: https://www.amazon.com/Structured-Analytic-Techniques-Intell...

Yep, that's the plan! Any methodologies in particular you suggest? ACH seemed like a good choice to start out with because it's relatively simple and well-known

It will be interesting to see which techniques from intelligence analysis and business best lend themselves to collaborative analysis on the internet.

Well, techniques like starbursting, [cross-]impact matrix and quadrant crunching can become much easier with a proper software interface.
