evaluators

Those who appraise

Evaluators are people or systems that assess, judge, or determine the value or quality of something.

The term appears across many domains: program evaluators review whether initiatives achieve their goals, performance evaluators rate employee work, and in computing, evaluators are functions that process and return values.

The grant required independent evaluators to measure outcomes.
