performance criteria

How achievement measured

Performance criteria are the specific standards or benchmarks used to evaluate how well someone or something is doing.

In workplace contexts, they define what success looks like for a job or task: The performance criteria for this role include meeting sales targets and maintaining client satisfaction.

In technical or regulatory settings, performance criteria specify measurable thresholds a system or product must meet: The building materials failed to meet fire safety performance criteria.
