Make the strength of each finding visible
A report in which every finding is written in the same confident voice hides the difference between what the evaluation showed and what it suggests. A reader cannot tell a result from a survey of 1,200 women from an impression gathered in four interviews.
This guide gives you five tests, each scored 0, 1 or 2: sources, method fit, consistency, bias risk and coverage. One cap stops a strong total from hiding a weak core. A rating sheet records the reasons, and a table gives the words to use in the report for each rating. A worked example rates six findings from an evaluation, and shows one capped at Moderate and why.
The inception report carries a short evidence scale for planning. This guide is for rating the findings once the data are in. It pairs with the Inception Report & Evaluation Matrix Template and leads into the Findings Storyline Template.

Yes. Write your choices into the inception report and apply them to every finding.
How fast is delivery?
Within 24 hours of confirming payment, usually much sooner.
