The bottom link is probably the one you want if you're actually curious about their analysis.
The problems with their analysis are painfully obvious, however. They only consider six "suspects", and they basically pick the ones out of the six that seem most similar.
They don't take into account Trump, Scavino, Flynn, Watnick, and others that are equally or more plausibly involved. They don't take into account the photos Q takes or the close relationship the Q posts have to POTUS' activities. The wide breadth of info Q relays to us strongly indicates some level of team effort. Instead they focus on the board operators--who certainly have the power to monkey with the drops--but would rapidly be found out.
I think it's worth linguistically analyzing the posts and seeing how Q team's motivations, style, and priorities shifted over time and in response to events and the public's capacity.
Academia continues to disappoint.
