Delphi Discovery - 60 min consultation

$199.00

A focused, 60-minute working session with you and your team to determine whether Delphi is the right method for your decision—and if so, how to design it for speed, credibility, and stakeholder buy-in. You’ll leave with a crisp decision statement, a recommended Delphi format (classic, modified, or real time), and a concrete plan for your next study.

What we cover in the hour

The decision + success criteria (10–15 min)

  • What decision you’re trying to make (and what’s out of scope)

  • What “good” looks like: alignment, forecast accuracy, prioritization, standards, risk reduction

  • Time constraints and who must accept the result

Fit check: is Delphi the right tool? (10–15 min)

  • When Delphi works best vs. workshops, surveys, expert interviews etc.

  • What level of anonymity/independence you need

  • Risks (panel bias, low response rates, politicization) and how to mitigate them

Study architecture (20–25 min)

  • Panel design: who counts as an “expert,” how many, and how to balance viewpoints

  • Round plan: number of rounds, question types, consensus thresholds, feedback format

  • Data plan: what you’ll measure (central tendency, spread, stability shift, minority views)

  • Timeline and roles (what you do vs. what we do)

Decision pathway + next steps (5–10 min)

  • Recommended package/tier (or a custom hybrid)

  • Resourcing estimate: panel size, rounds, and expected lift

  • Immediate next actions for the next 72 hour

Within 1 business day you will receive:

  • A 1-page Delphi Fit + Plan summary:

    • decision statement + scope boundary

    • recommended Delphi format + rounds

    • suggested panel profile + target size

    • draft timeline + key risks/mitigations

    • recommended next step (QuickStart / Oracle / Enterprise)
