Thank you to our testers
Hello,
Over the past weeks, external testers have worked through Delphi Pronoia with their own studies in mind and logged dozens of observations. All of them have now been reviewed and addressed, and the changes are live in version 8.124. A warm thank you to everyone who gave their time and told us plainly where Pronoia was getting in the way. That is exactly the feedback we need.
New: theses from material you already have
You no longer need to type theses one by one. Import them from an Excel sheet, or paste them as text from a memo or an email. Pronoia recognises the theses and their question types, as well as the settings of structured questions such as evaluation criteria and time windows. Signatures in workshop sheets are left out automatically, and the preview shows what still needs completing before anything is imported.
New: filling gaps in the panel
If your panel matrix has empty cells, you can fill them with AI panelists by ticking them. The decision is always yours: some cells have no real respondents behind them, and AI should not hide that.
From the testers' observations
- The wizard shows where you are. Every step is marked as done, in progress or still containing template text, and you can jump straight to any completed step.
- Fields have names. Labels stay visible even when a field is filled, so a thesis title is no longer mistaken for the study title.
- Actions report back. Adding a panelist, running the AI panel and converting the panel all tell you what happened.
- Buttons take you where they say. The invitation letter, the response summary and the results are where you would look for them.
- Calmer answering for panelists. The view stays in place after saving, paragraph breaks in rationales are kept, and at the end panelists see clearly that everything has been saved. On phones, scale buttons always fit on one row.
Testing continues, and every observation is read. If you notice something, let us know.
