Explanation
The Delphi technique (C) is specifically designed for situations where adequate direct data is unavailable. It works by systematically gathering and synthesizing expert opinions through iterative anonymous questionnaire rounds until consensus is reached. Since the portfolio manager lacks sufficient risk information to perform a data-driven analysis, using Delphi to tap expert judgment is the most appropriate path to generating defensible risk insights for the governance board. Cumulative distribution (A) and Graphical Analytical methods (D) require existing quantitative data. Weighted Ranking and Scoring (B) requires defined criteria and data points - not feasible with inadequate information.
