Analysis rules

Rule 1: Questions that show a variable response pattern (≤ 40%) spread across response options in a non-skewed way will be removed
Rule 2: Questions with responses between 41% and 79% will be re-asked with three response options: Disagree, Neutral, Agree
Rule 3: Questions that showed a skewed response pattern, with the majority of responses (≥ 80%) spread across 5 or 3 options, will be summed and asked back with a binary response option: Agree or Disagree
Rule 4: Binary questions that showed a response pattern of ≥ 80% agreement will be considered consensus
Rule 5: 3-point Likert scale questions in Round 2 with responses between 41% and 79% will be re-asked on a 3-point Likert scale in Round 3
Rule 6: 3-point Likert scale questions in Round 3 with ≥ 80% of a response option will be considered consensus
