raters
Those who evaluate
Raters are people who rate—who assign scores, grades, or rankings to things.
The term appears most often in contexts where evaluation is formalized: The raters disagreed on whether the essay deserved a passing score.
Movie raters assign age-appropriateness ratings.
Credit raters assess financial risk.
In research, inter-rater reliability measures how consistently different raters evaluate the same thing.
