Software aside, wouldn't the output of the software simply stand on its own as particularly insightful reasoning? What's to prevent a juror from using it privately and then mentioning the output to the rest of the jurors, who, if rational, would be hard pressed not to agree.

You'd still have the benefit of the systematic circumstance/condition comparison, although you'd lose the benefit of the voting aspects. California criminal jury instructions say jurors can take notes, but cautions that they are only for individual use.
