Update:  We’re going to call this version 1.0 of the Strategist Index. Over the next week or so I’ll be refining the question set and expanding the sample of strategists (and writing out some more notes on the process). Qualitative analysis isn’t an exact science; but it does provoke and provide insight.  A wise fellow suggested Gap Analysis, another has suggested I provide a longer question with more clarity and a third helpful person pointed to a form of graph that can help explain aggregate scores. I’ll take all these suggestions and in the weeks after the debate on Dec 4th; try it again. Thanks for the feedback everyone! Keep it coming.
