appraisal

Formal value estimate

An appraisal is a professional assessment of value or quality.

Most commonly, it refers to a formal evaluation of property: The home appraisal came in higher than expected.

Appraisals also occur in employment contexts, where supervisors evaluate worker performance.

More broadly, any careful assessment qualifies: an honest appraisal of the situation.
