Gather comparable perspectives
Step 5 of 8: collect views on a common basis
Responses are collected from the relevant internal and partner participants against the same assessment criteria. This creates a shared evidence base for comparison.

- Putting the same questions and criteria to each participant.
- Capturing supporting evidence alongside the scores.
