We use a very old tool: dialogue, discussion and argumentation. :)
Another one: try out and find the pros and cons yourself
Sharing of user and developer experiences
Then there is the NSM API documentation and the JackSession documentation.
But if you want to make such a matrix, go ahead, but it might be harder

to put it in a matrix then it looks at first sight.
