The following made me think of 'planning poker' / how the Fibonacci sequence can be used earlier on when datasets (or shared understanding across teams) may not be available yet? I know it's usually a tool for tech/product delivery estimations on time and difficulty but it can be tweaked. I wonder if the tool could be put to good use at such junctures:
"...The civil service does not struggle with this when there is solid evidence or at the end of the process, when it does an impact assessment. But when forced to do rough approximations, early on in a policy process (when decisions are actually being made), it usually struggles. The Mackay 2050 net zero calculator is an excellent example of how to bring numbers into the conversation early, as is our Blueprint to halve obesity, where we reviewed thousands of academic studies to generate estimated effect sizes for 30 interventions."
Great read.
