The review by both Provocateurs and Judges was blind. Each of the six participating teams was given a referent that was randomly determined, such as "Team E" or "Team V." For the development of the provocateur questions, each team response was randomly assigned to one of the three provocateurs. For the judging, blind responses from all teams were reviewed by all judges.

An 8-item rating scale (ratings from 1 [low] to 4 [high]) was used by the judges to rate each team's work. For each team, the ratings received from the judges were averaged over all items and the team responses ranked accordingly. The team responses were all very good, and the ratings bore this out. Overall, the results were close, differing by only half a point between teams at either end of the distribution.

The top two team responses have been posted to this web site, along with the provocateur questions these teams answered and the judges' feedback they received.
