The Delphi process moves areas of clinical and scientific disagreement into greater alignment using iterative survey rounds in transparent and reproducible processes. Special features of Delphi that make it especially useful for resolving “grey zone” issues include use of anonymity in survey panels to reduce ‘dominant voice’ bias; use of controlled feedback to increase reasoning-based opinion convergence; global scalability; and virtual and in-person collaboration to improve collaboration and accelerate project advancement.
Supercharged Scientific elevates the Delphi method through expert integration of systematic literature review to inform the Delphi statements with evidence. This process defines what is known, surfaces critical evidence gaps, and clarifies areas of controversy, thereby strengthening methodological rigor, minimizing bias, and ensuring transparency from the outset.
The Supercharged Scientific team uses recognized methods to implement and manage the Delphi process and handle and anonymize all data, acting as a neutral third party and a firewall between study sponsors and experts.
