Validated Instrument Corpus
Instead of generic survey templates, Opendelphi grounds instrument drafting in a corpus of validated research instruments.
Grounded, Not Generated From Thin Air
When AI drafts candidate items for your study, it retrieves from a corpus of validated research instruments — REDCap-compatible protocols spanning many research domains — rather than inventing questions from scratch. Drafts inherit the structure and wording conventions of instruments that have already survived validation.
Citation Binding with Full Provenance
Corpus-grounded items are citation-bound: they trace to specific instruments in the retrieval set, and failing citations are rejected. Web-grounded and ungrounded drafts carry their own provenance labels, so you can always answer the reviewer question 'where did this item come from?'
Licensed-Scale Awareness
Some validated scales require a license from their rights holder. The platform flags suspected licensed scales in the corpus and will not knowingly reproduce their text in drafts — instead it recommends referencing the validated scale and securing the license.
REDCap Round-Trip
Instruments import from and export to REDCap data dictionaries, so consensus-built instruments slot into existing REDCap workflows and existing REDCap instruments can seed an Opendelphi study.
