Retired. This entry was not a citation. Our extractor stored an inline prose definition from the article as though it were a bibliographic record: the title names a concept rather than a published work, and the citation text names no work at all. The page is kept because links to it still resolve, but it is withdrawn from the reference list. This entry is kept so the citations that pointed at it still resolve, and so the correction is visible rather than silent.

Mechanisms

• Pre-Meeting Silent Input
  • It is a close cousin of the nominal group technique, the structured method in which members generate ideas silently and independently before any group discussion, precisely to keep dominant voices from steering the pool.
• Silent-Start Written Input
  • Its strength is applying the opening move of nominal group technique

    This sourceDefines nominal group technique as beginning with silent, independent written idea generation before group sharing and discussion.

• Structured Round Robin
  • This is the round-robin recording step at the heart of Nominal Group Technique, which surfaces more and more independent contributions than open discussion, precisely because no one has to compete for the floor.

    This sourceDefines NGT as silent independent generation followed by round-robin recording, a structure that increases unique input and limits competition or dominance in speaking.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 3 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
