qapproach: The Q Approach to Consensus Building

Implements a workflow based on Q method to support consensus-building processes. It prepares participant rankings, selects and fits group perspectives, calculates consensus priority scores, validates results by bootstrap resampling, and produces publication-ready figures. The underlying method is described by Geschke et al. (2022) "The Q approach to consensus building: integrating diverse perspectives to guide decision-making" <doi:10.32942/X2F59S>.
