In RSMOne's words

A lab checking whether a grain lot meets a protein threshold records an Evaluation, including which Predicate version governed it. The record is authoritative about what was evaluated and concluded by that evaluator; it does not make the conclusion universally incontestable.

What it is not

  • Evaluation ≠ Evidence

    An Evaluation records the application of criteria to inputs and its result; Evidence is among those inputs and is not itself a conclusion. 04 §10.6 · Assertion

  • Evaluation ≠ Assertion

    An Evaluation records what one evaluator concluded; an Assertion is a conclusion adopted or attested under an identifiable authority within a defined scope. 04 §10.6 · Assertion
