About this template

Futures work needs a repeatable read, not a round of opinions. This Delphi-style worksheet asks experts to place sixteen trend statements on a 1-5 signal scale across four axes — Technological Disruption, Societal Reconfiguration, Economic Volatility and Ecological Pressure — with confidence and reasoning recorded per statement. Each response returns an AI PDF report showing which signals are strong, which are contested and where expert opinion has converged enough to plan on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a Delphi method?
Structurally yes: experts score each statement, give confidence and reasoning, and rounds are compared for convergence.
Which trend axes does it cover?
Technological disruption, societal reconfiguration, economic volatility and ecological pressure — sixteen statements in total.
How many experts make the read useful?
Eight to fifteen per round shows real disagreement; beyond that you mostly collect repetition.
What counts as convergence?
Statements whose band is stable across rounds are planable; the ones that swing are what to keep tracking.
Can it be re-run per horizon?
Yes — keep the statements identical and change only the horizon so 2030 and 2035 reads compare.
Does each round cost anything?
No — one free copy per panel, round or planning horizon.
