The "evaluation structure" refers to the hierarchical arrangement of criteria, features, or aspects considered when evaluating a product, service, or process. This structure defines the various levels and subcategories by which an evaluation is organized and determines how these levels are interconnected. A clear evaluation structure facilitates systematic evaluation and enables comprehensive analysis of different aspects.
Typical functions of software in the field of evaluation structure include:
Structured capture of evaluation criteria: The software allows for the definition and structuring of evaluation criteria and categories according to the requirements of the evaluation process.
Hierarchical organization: It supports the hierarchical organization of evaluation elements in the form of main categories, subcategories, and individual criteria to create a clear structure.
Customizable evaluation structures: The software provides the ability to customize and modify the evaluation structure as needed to cover different evaluation scenarios or adapt to changing requirements.
Linking of evaluation elements: It enables the linking of evaluation elements within the structure to consider dependencies or relationships between different criteria.
Criteria weighting: The software allows for the assignment of weights to individual criteria or categories within the evaluation structure to account for their relative importance in the overall evaluation.
Clear representation: It offers features for clear representation of the evaluation structure, including graphical representations such as tree diagrams or hierarchical views.
Intuitive user interface: The software has an intuitive user interface that allows users to navigate the evaluation structure easily, add or edit elements, and conduct evaluations.
