An indicator result could, for instance, be compared to the total indicator value in an area, or to the average indicator value per inhabitant per year. Other common methods are to compare with national reduction targets and with damage costs from emissions and resource depletion. Sometimes these are weighed across impact categories made by expert panels. However, some studies using this technique would not meet the requirement of transparency for the weighting process set by ISO. 

Gable et al. (1996) estimated lifetime costs of treating a person with HIV to be US 94,726, using an expert panel and several cost data sources to produce treatment protocols for opportunistic infections and primary antiretroviral therapy. 

Expert opinion is a source, frequently elicited by survey, that is used to obtain information where no or few data are available. For example, in our experience with a multicountry evaluation of health care resource utilization in atrial fibrillation, very few country-specific published data were available on this subject. Thus the decision-analytic model was supplemented with data from a physician expert panel survey to determine initial management approach (rate control vs. cardioversion) first-, second-, and third-line agents doses and durations of therapy type and frequency of studies that would be performed to initiate and monitor therapy type and frequency of adverse events, by body system and the resources used to manage them place of treatment and adverse consequences of lack of atrial fibrillation control and cost of these consequences, for example, stroke, congestive heart failure. This method may also be used in testing the robustness of the analysis [30].

Owing to the morbidity associated with these opportunistic infections in HCT recipients, optimal pharmacotherapy for preventing and treating infections in this patient population is critical. In 2000, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published guidelines for preventing these infections among HCT recipients.8 These guidelines were constructed from available data by an expert panel from the CDC, the Infectious Disease Society of America, and the American...
