Comprehensively analyze parameter interactions in the synthetic participatory process

Analyze comprehensively the interactions among synthetic participatory process parameters—including team size, number of Delphi rounds, free-style discussion duration, and budget constraints—and quantify their joint effects on the diversity of SAEMS design alternatives and the resulting multi-criteria evaluation and selection outcomes.

Background

Sensitivity analyses indicate that individual parameters influence generated alternatives and evaluation outcomes, but their joint interactions are not fully characterized.

A comprehensive paper of parameter interdependencies would inform robust experimental designs and improve the reliability and generalizability of synthetic participatory planning results.
