Matrix of hypotheses and alternatives

Evidence

The hypothesis with the fewest inconsistencies is the least contradicted, not the proven one. None gets a percentage: record the support and the data that would change it.

Limits of this tool

It counts inconsistencies to help you reason (Heuer, 1999); the least contradicted hypothesis is not thereby proven.
