Condorcet's Jury Theorem

Probability, PN , that a jury gives the correct answer, given: N = the number of jurorsp = the probability of an individual juror being rightm = the number of jurors required for a majority

The graphs suggest that when an electorate is large enough, and individuals in that electorate are right more often than wrong, elections would act as a ‘truth tracker’.Statistical Consultants

Consensus.

huntingmammoths.net

Consensus.Sales reps seek out the executive who can single-handedly approve a deal at a company.Reps today rarely find a unilateral decision maker. More often, they discover that the authority to make decisions rests with groups of individuals—all of whom have different roles, and all of whom have veto power. Reaching consensus and closing deals has become an increasingly painful and protracted process for customers and suppliers alike.

4Collective intelligence measure.

huntingmammoths.net

CI groups communicate more and participate more equally than other groups.

Measuring CI“In two studies with 699 people, working in groups of two to five, we find converging evidence of a general collective intelligence factor that explains a group’s performance on a wide variety of tasks. This “c factor” is not strongly correlated with the average or maximum individual intelligence of group members but is correlated with the average social sensitivity of group members, the equality in distribution of conversational turn-taking, and the proportion of females in the group.”
