Assessment
An evaluation technique for technology that requires analyzing
benefits and risks, understanding the trade-offs, and then
determining the best action to take in order to ensure that the desired

The process of using dimensions, quantity, or capacity by
comparison with a standard in order to mark off, apportion, lay
out, or establish dimensions.
