Do the reviewers get together after a Test Fest at a conference or forum to debrief and share their perspectives on how the evaluation was conducted?
not after, but throughout testfest, we are constantly huddling and comparing notes, and exchanging differences of opinions on various cars and the process of evaluating them. there are also highly visible, yellow-jacket-wearing CCOTY TestFest Directors, who are available and i, at least filled their ears with suggestions about possible 'improvements' to the system.
Mike and I at least share office space and have a chance to discuss these things, and we also get a chance to adopt any good methodologies for our Comparison Tests, or can develpp our own in the hopes that we can help improve the TestFest procedures.
