Structured Analytic Techniques for Intelligence Analysis. Washington, DC: CQ Press, 2010. Pherson and Heuer This book takes the relatively new concept of structured analytic techniques, defines its place in a present techniques that taxonomy of analytic methods, and moves it a giant leap forward. It describes 50 techniques that are divided into eight categories. There are techniques for: are especially needed in Decomposition and Visualization Cause and Effect

typically deal with Hypothesis Generation and Testing Decision Support incomplete, ambiguous, Each structured technique involves a step-by-step process that externalizes an individual analyst’s thinking in a manner that makes it readily apparent to others, thereby enabling it to be shared, and sometimes deceptive built on, and easily critiqued by others. This structured and transparent process combined with the intuitive input of subject matter experts is expected to reduce the risk of analytic error. Struc- information. ture analytic techniques are the ideal process for guiding the interaction of analysts within a small team or group. Each step in a technique prompts relevant discussion within the team, and such discussion generates and evaluates substantially more divergent information and more new ideas than a team that does not use a structured process.

By defining the domain of structured analytic techniques, providing a manual for using and teach- ing these techniques, and outlining procedures for evaluating and validating these techniques, this book lays a common ground for continuing improvement of how analysis is done. These tech- niques are especially needed in the field of intelligence analysis where analysts typically deal with incomplete, ambiguous, and sometimes deceptive information. However, these practical tools for analysis are also useful in a wide variety of professions including law enforcement, medicine, fi- nance, and business.

Pherson also collaborated with Heuer in developing and launching the Analysis of Compet- ing Hypotheses (ACH) software tool and a new collaborative, Web-based version of the tool called Te@m ACH. He is co-drafting with Sarah Beebe a second book of case studies for teaching struc- tured analytic techniques.
