1. A weight was applied to each specification: 3 points    =   Essential or Extremely Important Feature or Function
2 points    =   Important or Highly desirable Feature or Function
1 point     =   Desirable Feature or Function

2. Rating scale for each specification:

1. Scores applied to written proposals:

0 = Not available; not planned
1 = Developing application – cannot be demonstrated
2 = Developing application – can be demonstrated now
3 = Undeterminable due to insufficient information
4 = Less than satisfactory
5 = Satisfactory
6 = Above satisfactory
2. Scores applied based on direct observation:

3 = Very poor implementation--not at all desirable
4 = Barely acceptable
5 = Satisfactory but room for considerable improvement
6 = Good
7 = Considerably better than acceptable
8 = Excellent implementation--little improvement needed
9 = Outstanding implementation--no deficiencies observed

3. The weight multiplied by the score determines the final value given for a particular specification.
