rater
One who evaluates
A rater is someone who rates—assigns a score, grade, or evaluation to something.
Insurance companies employ raters to assess risk and set premiums.
Online platforms use human raters to evaluate content quality.
In compound forms, rater describes the person doing the rating: first-rater, second-rater.
A self-rater evaluates their own performance.
