Expert elicitation
Systematically asking experts what they think about risks and connections.
Details
Our Take
'Structured expert consultation' is clearer. Sounds more technical than it is. The method matters because it makes explicit what is usually implicit: expert judgement under uncertainty. The WEF Global Risks Report relies heavily on this.
Examples of Use
Risk analysis, WEF, IPCC
Synonyms/Variants
Structured expert consultation; Delphi method (specific variant); Expert judgement
Typical everyday wording
Systematically asking experts what they think, and why
