A first version of A series of assessment predicates describing the

analyst capabilities to perform analysis or making judgments under a
certain level of uncertainty. These assessment can be assigned by the
analyst him/herself or by another party evaluating the analyst or
the analysis.

This is based on various documents but especially those two documents:

- Psychology of Intelligence Analysis (Richards J. Heuer, Jr.)
- Judgment under Uncertainty: Heuristics and Biases (Amos Tversky; Daniel Kahneman)

The challenge when doing such taxonomy is to describes a human process
into a machine-readable taxonomy. So feedback (via PR or issues)
is more than welcome.
