HunchWorks

From http://www.unglobalpulse.org/blog/why-hunchworks:

Hunchworks is a tool to enable experts of all kinds to post hypotheses that might warrant further exploration. We hope that it will provide the ability to capture the intuition, gut knowledge and situational awareness of the experts. HunchWorks is also a mechanism to make the membranes between silos of knowledge both inside and outside of the UN more permeable, surfacing the hunches of other researchers and promoting the cross-pollination of ideas and evidence.
