It enables investigators, journalists and academic researchers, who are not a party to the issue under investigation to assess the impact of facts as &#8220;for&#8221; or &#8220;against&#8221; different parties or propositions\/hypotheses rather than just &#8220;for us&#8221; or &#8220;against us&#8221; as is generally the case in litigation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a fraud or criminal investigation for example, there may be several suspects and facts must be assessed as &#8220;for&#8221; or &#8220;against&#8221; each suspect&#8217;s innocence rather than &#8220;for us&#8221; or &#8220;against us&#8221;. Similarly facts in an academic research project need to be assessed as &#8220;for&#8221; or &#8220;against&#8221; the various competing hypotheses or propositions under consideration in the project or thesis.<\/p>\n<p>Proposition Analysis replaces MasterFile&#8217;s traditional impact assessments for the following items:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Facts and chronology events.<\/li>\n<li>Witness (player) assessments.<\/li>\n<li>Issue assessments.<\/li>\n<li>Document and extracts assessments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the fact profile below, the &#8220;Impact assessment&#8221; and &#8220;Impacted party&#8221; fields are highlighted. Notice that the default position for &#8220;Impacted party&#8221; is &#8220;Us&#8221; so that unless you need Proposition Analysis, it doesn&#8217;t affect how you normally use MasterFile.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5527\" src=\"https:\/\/masterfile.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/prop-fact-impact-highlighte.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"605\" height=\"242\" \/>To assess a fact for or against another party, proposition or hypothesis, simply select the party from the &#8220;Impacted party&#8221; field&#8217;s player list pop up. Shown below is a fact that has been assessed as &#8220;Strongly for&#8221; &#8220;Arcade Towers&#8221;.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5526\" src=\"https:\/\/masterfile.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/prop-fact-for-arcade.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"605\" height=\"242\" \/>To asses your facts for or against competing hypotheses or propositions under consideration in an investigation or academic research project, create &#8220;Player&#8221; keywords for each hypothesis or proposition, such as &#8220;Global warming is due to solar activity&#8221;, and use these in the corresponding fields above.<\/p>\n<p>You can quickly and easily review all the facts that relevant to a particular party or proposition from the &#8220;facts by Impacted Party \/ Hypothesis&#8221; view. Under each impacted party\/proposition listed, the facts are grouped by their impact to the party\/proposition.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5528\" src=\"https:\/\/masterfile.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/view-by-impacted-party.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"605\" height=\"204\" \/>If a fact, let&#8217;s call it the &#8220;established fact&#8221;, impacts competing hypotheses or propositions it is handled a little differently. First, it should be set out with all the supporting evidence and assigned an impact assessment of &#8220;Not applicable&#8221;. Open the &#8220;Established Fact&#8221; and then use the &#8220;Create Fact&#8221; button to make an &#8220;assessed&#8221; fact for each hypothesis or proposition the &#8220;established fact&#8221; impacts. Finally, assess and set out in each why the &#8220;established fact&#8221; impacts the hypothesis. This method lets you set out all the evidence in one place, i.e. the &#8220;established fact&#8221;, as each assessed fact links back to it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-sz82y0-eaa83aa80d41459e3f0dbfcfbe796891\">\n.flex_column.av-sz82y0-eaa83aa80d41459e3f0dbfcfbe796891{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-sz82y0-eaa83aa80d41459e3f0dbfcfbe796891 av_two_third  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_one_third  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding column-top-margin'     ><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-sz82y0-76e39d562f032ec12fc4f3be77aadc39\">\n.flex_column.av-sz82y0-76e39d562f032ec12fc4f3be77aadc39{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-sz82y0-76e39d562f032ec12fc4f3be77aadc39 av_one_third  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_two_third  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding column-top-margin'     ><div  class='av-social-sharing-box av-ke1oznu4-46d8307796e52d0612d0d6819f057fa2 av-social-sharing-box-default  avia-builder-el-9  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  av-medium-hide av-small-hide av-mini-hide av-social-sharing-box-fullwidth'><div class=\"av-share-box\"><ul class=\"av-share-box-list noLightbox\"><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-facebook' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on Facebook\" href='https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/masterfile.biz\/blog\/proposition-analysis\/&#038;t=MasterFile%E2%80%99s%20Unique%20Proposition%20Analysis%20Makes%20Multi-party%20Fact%20Assessment%20Simple%21' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue8f3' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on Facebook' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-twitter' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on Twitter\" href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=MasterFile%E2%80%99s%20Unique%20Proposition%20Analysis%20Makes%20Multi-party%20Fact%20Assessment%20Simple%21&#038;url=https:\/\/masterfile.biz\/?p=5525' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue8f1' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on Twitter' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-linkedin' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on LinkedIn\" href='https:\/\/linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&#038;title=MasterFile%E2%80%99s%20Unique%20Proposition%20Analysis%20Makes%20Multi-party%20Fact%20Assessment%20Simple%21&#038;url=https:\/\/masterfile.biz\/blog\/proposition-analysis\/' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue8fc' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on LinkedIn' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-reddit' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on Reddit\" href='https:\/\/reddit.com\/submit?url=https:\/\/masterfile.biz\/blog\/proposition-analysis\/&#038;title=MasterFile%E2%80%99s%20Unique%20Proposition%20Analysis%20Makes%20Multi-party%20Fact%20Assessment%20Simple%21' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue927' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on Reddit' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on Reddit<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-mail' ><a  aria-label=\"Share by Mail\" href='mailto:?subject=MasterFile%E2%80%99s%20Unique%20Proposition%20Analysis%20Makes%20Multi-party%20Fact%20Assessment%20Simple%21&#038;body=https:\/\/masterfile.biz\/blog\/proposition-analysis\/' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue805' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share by Mail'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share by Mail<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there are several suspects or hypotheses in a case, facts and evidence, etc. must be assessed as &#8220;for&#8221; or &#8220;against&#8221; each rather than just &#8220;for us&#8221; or &#8220;against us&#8221;.
