Abstract
A bias-sensitive crowd-sourced analytic system is disclosed that provides a collaborative, moderated, computer-mediated environment that includes integrated evaluation of analytical skill and cognitive de-biasing training; a simple, binary blue-team/red-team format that incorporates teaming and dedicated devil's advocacy; and accountability through quantitative scoring of reasoning, responses and associated confidence levels.

A method of controlling access provisions in a multi-user, collaborative computer environment, the method comprising:
- initiating a workflow process associated with a structured analytic technique by one or more servers;
- establishing, by the one or more servers in response to initiating the workflow process, a collaborative data space that is simultaneously accessible by users over a communication network;
- dynamically grouping at least a subset of the users into groups, the groups including at least a first group of the users and a second group of the users;
- rendering, selectively, a sequence of timed windows on user devices in communication with the one or more servers through which input from the first group of the users and the second group of the users is received and according to a continuous clock functionality being executed by the one or more servers in response to execution of the workflow process;
- controlling access provisions to content in the collaborative data space in a first access phase to grant the first group of the users access to the content and to deny the second group of the users access to the content;
- receiving input in the collaborative data space from the first group of users via the timed windows to collaboratively modify the content of the data space in the first access phase;
- preventing access to the content of the collaborative data space from the second group of the users in the first access phase;
- and
- dynamically modifying the access provisions to the content in the collaborative data space in a second access phase to deny the first group of the users access to the content and to grant the second group of the users access to the content in response to a configurable amount of time that has elapsed since the first group of users was provided access to the content of the collaborative data space or in response to an action of at least one of the users in the first group and after collaborative modification to the content of the collaborate data space is committed to a database,
- wherein rendering the sequence of timed windows on the user devices includes automatically relocating text information between the timed windows upon expiration of specified time intervals, and
- wherein the timed windows are rendered on the user devices of the first group of the users or the second group of the users based on the continuous clock function to grant or deny access to the content in the collaborative data space.
A system controlling access provisions in a multi-user, collaborative computer environment, the system comprising:
- one or more non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by one or more servers and a collaborative data space;
- one or more servers, the one or more servers execute the instructions to:
- initiate a workflow process associated with a structured analytic technique;
- establish, in response to initiating the workflow process, the collaborative data space in the one or more computer-readable media, the collaborative data space being simultaneously accessible by users over a communication network;
- dynamically group at least a subset of the users into groups, the groups including at least a first group of the users and a second group of the users;
- render, selectively, a sequence of timed windows on user devices in communication with the one or more servers through which input from the first group of the users and the second group of the users is received and according to a continuous clock functionality being executed by the one or more servers in response to execution of the workflow process;
- control access provisions to content in the collaborative data space in a first access phase to grant the first group of the users access to the content and to deny the second group of the users access to the content;
- receive input in the collaborative data space from the first group of users via the timed windows to collaboratively modify the content of the data space in the first access phase;
- prevent access to the content of the collaborative data space from the second group of the users in the first access phase;
- and
- dynamically modify the access provisions to the content in the collaborative data space in a second access phase to deny the first group of the users access to the content and to grant the second group of the users access to the content in response to a configurable amount of time that has elapsed since the first group of users was provided access to the content of the collaborative data space or in response to an action of at least one of the users in the first group and after collaborative modification to the content of the collaborate data space is committed to a database,
- wherein the sequence of timed windows is rendered on the user devices to include automatically relocating text information between the timed windows upon expiration of specified time intervals, and
- wherein the timed windows are rendered on the user devices of the first group of the users or the second group of the users based on the continuous clock function to grant or deny access to the content in the collaborative data space.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions executable by a processing device, wherein execution of the instructions by the processing device causes the processing device to:
- initiate a workflow process associated with a structured analytic technique;
- establish, in response to initiating the workflow process, the collaborative data space in the one or more computer-readable media, the collaborative data space being simultaneously accessible by users over a communication network;
- dynamically group at least a subset of the users into groups, the groups including at least a first group of the users and a second group of the users;
- render, selectively, a sequence of timed windows on user devices in communication with the one or more servers through which input from the first group of the users and the second group of the users is received and according to a continuous clock functionality being executed by the one or more servers in response to execution of the workflow process;
- control access provisions to content in the collaborative data space in a first access phase to grant the first group of the users access to the content and to deny the second group of the users access to the content;
- receive input in the collaborative data space from the first group of users via the timed windows to collaboratively modify the content of the data space in the first access phase;
- prevent access to the content of the collaborative data space from the second group of the users in the first access phase;
- and
- dynamically modify the access provisions to the content in the collaborative data space in a second access phase to deny the first group of the users access to the content and to grant the second group of the users access to the content in response to a configurable amount of time that has elapsed since the first group of users was provided access to the content of the collaborative data space or in response to an action of at least one of the users in the first group and after collaborative modification to the content of the collaborate data space is committed to a database,
- wherein the sequence of timed windows is rendered on the user devices to include automatically relocating text information between the timed windows upon expiration of specified time intervals, and
- wherein the timed windows are rendered on the user devices of the first group of the users or the second group of the users based on the continuous clock function to grant or deny access to the content in the collaborative data space.
