Yes, it's a skill that is taught by specialised defence training institutions, intelligence agencies and a few universities. It seems to be known by a variety of names, such as "analytic tradecraft" or "analysis" within a context of intelligence work. I suspect, but can't prove, that it first became a discipline in the Prussian General Staff in the early nineteenth century.
