appraisals
Formal worth assessments
Appraisals are formal assessments of value or quality.
A real estate appraisal determines what a property is worth; an antique appraisal estimates the value of old objects.
In workplaces, performance appraisals are periodic evaluations of an employee's work: Annual appraisals determine raises and promotions.
The word carries a sense of careful, expert judgment rather than casual opinion.
