Iterative Convergence Round

Execute one complete iteration of the Delphi convergence cycle: collect independent judgments from all perspectives, distribute anonymized feedback showing the group distribution, allow revision, measure consensus level, and decide whether another round is needed.

Stages

1. Collect — Run judgment-collection to gather independent ratings/estimates from each perspective
2. Feedback — Run feedback-distribution to create anonymized summary of group responses
3. Measure — Run consensus-measurement to compute agreement level (IQR, % agreement, Kendall's W)
4. Decide — Run round-decision to determine continue/stop based on threshold and stability

Available SOPs

SOP	Role in Tactic
judgment-collection	Gather independent judgments from all perspectives
feedback-distribution	Create and distribute anonymized feedback report
consensus-measurement	Compute consensus score using appropriate method
round-decision	Determine whether to run another round or stop

Execution Guidance

• Judgments MUST be collected independently (no cross-contamination)
• Feedback MUST be anonymized (no attribution to specific perspectives)
• Consensus measurement method should match data type (IQR for continuous, % for categorical)
• Stop conditions: consensus threshold met OR stability detected OR max rounds reached
• If stopping without consensus, document which items remain unresolved

Minimum Yield

• Consensus items list (items that reached consensus)
• Non-consensus items (items that did not converge, with reasons)
• Round log (round-by-round progression of scores)

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

SOP	When to use
consensus-measurement	Compute consensus score from collected judgments using the appropriate statistical method.
feedback-distribution	Create anonymized feedback report summarizing group judgment distribution for a given round.
judgment-collection	Collect independent judgments from all perspectives on a given question.
round-decision	Decide whether to continue iterating or stop based on consensus score, round number, and stability.
