Turn-key Delphi Study Services
End-to-end Delphi methodology and project support for teams that want Calibrum involved from study planning and questionnaire development through Surveylet implementation, round management, analysis, and reporting.
End-to-end support for teams that want a Delphi partner
Turn-key Delphi Study Services are designed for organizations that need broader support than software access or implementation assistance. Calibrum can help structure the methodology, translate the study plan into a workable Delphi process, configure and manage Surveylet, support panel workflow and rounds, analyze results, and prepare reporting materials.
A turn-key engagement may include
Methodology planning
- Study objectives and Delphi design
- Round structure and stopping approach
- Consensus definitions and analysis planning
- Panel-size rationale, stakeholder mapping, representation targets, eligibility, and recruitment considerations
Questionnaire development
- Survey-content review
- Item and scale structure
- Feedback and comment approach
- Round-to-round item handling
Surveylet implementation
- Survey programming and configuration
- Testing and launch preparation
- Participant access and instructions
- Survey changes across rounds
Participant workflow
- Invitation and reminder strategy
- Panelist onboarding
- Participation monitoring
- Round management and operational coordination
Consensus analysis
- Round-level response review
- Consensus, disagreement, and stable-polarization assessment
- Stakeholder-group patterns where appropriate
- Stability, movement, and qualitative comment review
Reporting support
- Study summaries and data outputs
- Tables and figures
- Methodological documentation
- Final reporting or manuscript-support materials when included in scope
Typical project lifecycle
Best-fit projects
Medical Delphi studies
Structured expert consensus for clinical definitions, recommendations, treatment approaches, or standards.
Core outcome sets
Prioritization of candidate outcomes across clinicians, researchers, patients, caregivers, or other stakeholders.
Quality indicators
Consensus on measurable indicators for quality, performance, or program evaluation.
Research priorities
Structured prioritization of unanswered questions, evidence gaps, or research agendas.
RAND/UCLA studies
Expert-panel workflows using 1–9 appropriateness ratings and structured scenario review.
Policy and organizational consensus
Multi-stakeholder decisions where a transparent, repeatable consensus process is needed.
How this differs from Complete Survey Care
| Option | Best for | Primary role |
|---|---|---|
| Surveylet Platform | Experienced teams with internal Delphi leadership | Software access and data collection tools |
| Complete Survey Care | Teams that own the study design but want implementation and operational help | Surveylet setup, programming, testing, communications, round management, data assistance, and ongoing support within purchased hours |
| Turn-key Delphi Study Services | Teams that want broader methodology and project-delivery support | End-to-end Delphi planning, implementation, study management, analysis, and agreed reporting deliverables |
How projects are quoted
Turn-key engagements are custom scoped. The quote depends on study complexity, number of rounds, panel size, questionnaire length, participant workflow, analysis requirements, reporting needs, meeting support, timeline, and the level of methodology leadership requested.
A clearer foundation for a defensible Delphi study
Our Delphi Study Design and Reporting Checklist summarizes the panel, representation, questionnaire, consensus, feedback, analysis, and reporting decisions that should be addressed before launch and documented throughout the study.
