====== Evaluation ======

Evaluation is a systematic determination of a subject's [[merit]], worth, and significance, using [[criteria]] governed by a set of [[standard]]s. It can assist an [[organization]], [[program]], [[project]], or any other [[intervention]] or initiative to assess any aim, realizable concept/proposal, or any alternative, to help in [[decision-making]]; or to ascertain the degree of achievement or value in regard to the aim and objectives and results of any such action that has been completed.

The primary [[purpose]] of [[evaluation]], in addition to gaining insight into prior or existing initiatives, is to enable reflection and assist in the identification of future change.

Evaluation is often used to characterize and appraise subjects of interest in a wide range of human enterprises, including the arts, criminal justice, foundations, non-profit organizations, government, health care, and other human services.
