Analysis of Competing Hypotheses

The Analysis of Competing Hypotheses (ACH) is a systematic method for evaluating different explanations for an event or situation. Instead of simply accepting one theory, ACH encourages you to consider all possible explanations and weigh the evidence for each. This approach helps to identify biases and assumptions, leading to a more thorough understanding of the issue. By comparing and contrasting various hypotheses, analysts can make more informed decisions and avoid errors in judgment, ultimately enhancing the accuracy of their conclusions.
