Who is it for — for analysis of what?

CDM is for individuals engaged in analysis/research/investigation, also planning and tracking, in almost any occupation involving things you examine for relationships. A few examples are evidence marshaling, economics, most sciences, demographics, budgeting, forensics and other investigations in law, status tracking (of anything), sociology, etc. (Even archeology - see the sample dataset included in Reason.)

The analysis — by you and not by a computer — is of data that are (or could be) in a data table which you design and then model in real time.

What will CDM do for me?

It will sharpen your ability to draw conclusions, or define alternative hypotheses, about connections between the items on your data table. You may be accustomed to software that "analyzes" — then gives you an answer, i.e. you enter data and the software, following pre-established instructions, generates the result for you. CDM software is radically different (hence our patents). You enter data, then you instruct the software to display what you want to see. You "play" with it and results are formed in your mind, not by the software. Your mind is one of a kind, and can do things for which no software can ever be written. With CDM your mind processes not just what you see on the screen but your personal knowledge, your personal experience, and your personal skills.

And there is more to CDM than a data table. Please continue!
