deems

Regards to be

Deems is the third-person singular of deem, meaning to consider, judge, or regard as.

It appears in formal contexts where someone in authority makes a determination: The court deems the evidence admissible, Management deems it necessary to restructure.

The word carries weight—what someone deems true becomes operative for official purposes.
