Macbeth Method

Although you can include any type of page available in Welphi, the specific MCA pages are the MACBETH scoring and MACBETH weighing.

Yes, when you ask Welphi to export the round data you will get the scores and weights calculated by the MACBETH algorithm from the judgements the participants have provided

No.

Currently, Welphi enables you to create questionnaires based on 2 different methods, and we are working to add more to the list. 
The first method you can implement is the Delphi method. In this method, you can achieve consensus on any given topic, create multiple rounds, and invite participants to review their answers from round to round. 
The second method Welphi implements is qualitative swing weighting using the MACBETH technique. This allows you to determine weights for criteria/indicators when building an MCDA model. You can also use the MACBETH method to create value functions. 

You just need to insert the list of criteria you want to weigh and, for each one, two benchmark levels, enabling your participants to make proper comparisons. Based upon this, Welphi will automatically build the necessary questions to be answered by your participants. Based on the answers, welphi will return a set of weights for each criterion and for each participant by implementing the MACBETH method 

There are three types of questions in Welphi: Delphi-related, MCDA-related, and regular questionnaire. Welphi automatically generates statistics for Delphi-related questions and produces scores and weights for MCDA-related questions. On the other hand, regular questionnaire questions are standard open-ended or closed-ended questions that you can set up, but they will not be analyzed by the system. 

There are two obvious ways to ask the opinion of a set of people: join everyone in a room or set up an online questionnaire. While we think the former will always be the best way to foster the debate and exchange of arguments between people, it lacks the flexibility required to join people often geographically disperse and with tight schedules. Additionally, it makes no sense when the number of participants is very high. The later, on the other way, overcomes the problems of having many people at the same time in a room but makes it impossible to share people’s opinions. This is where Welphi comes handy. It not only provides the online resources to set up a questionnaire where each participants can answer it his own pace and place, but it also makes it possible to share participants answers and comments and ultimately allow any participant to change his/her answer after getting feedback from his peers.

Yes, please get in touch with us for pricing. 

Yes. You just need to upload a list of your participant’s e-mails, and Welphi will generate a unique link for each participant. Additionally, you can use Welphi to send a customizable invitation e-mail to your participants. You will then be able to keep track of everything each participant does in the questionnaire and send reminder e-mails if needed. 

No.

All data can be downloaded to Excel. Additionally, the list of participants and questions on the qualitative page can be uploaded from a .csv file.
