I've just taken a quick look at Correlate. I appreciate the concept. I
think it is in some ways similar to Smart Outline or Planz
(https://planz.codeplex.com/ I have a few concerns.

We could probably include it in the project dashboard category we discussed here:

Also, I wonder whether one couldn't create the same kind of knowledge
map or structure using a mind map such as FreePlane or Drop Mind, or
outliners, eg MyInfo or WhizFolders?

Freeplane can definitely work as a low cost (i.e. free) option. It's just a simple drag and drop. In my experience though these kinds of dashboards can become quite unwieldy, once they grow too big. Then something like TheBrain might make more sense.
