Do you have any kind of a credible source?

This is a self serving press release from a group that has been investigated by Congress for scams on slave reparations.

The source acts like this is some new revelation but there is nothing new here.

The key word is in the second paragraph, "could".

Lets see some data.


Fantastic example of the Delphi Technique!

Thanks!

Fantastic example of the Delphi Technique!

I had to look that one up.

Delphi method From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search

The Delphi technique is a method for obtaining forecasts from a panel of independent experts over two or more rounds. Experts are asked to predict quantities. After each round, an administrator provides an anonymous summary of the experts’ forecasts and their reasons for them. When experts’ forecasts have changed little between rounds, the process is stopped and the final round forecasts are combined by averaging. Delphi is based on well-researched principles and provides forecasts that are more accurate than those from unstructured groups (Rowe and Wright 1999, Rowe and Wright 2001).

The technique can be adapted for use in face-to-face meetings, and is then called mini-Delphi or Estimate-Talk-Estimate (ETE). Delphi has been widely used in business.

Free software to support Delphi forecasting and references are available on the Principles of Forecasting site.
