underassess
Judge too lightly
To underassess is to evaluate something at less than its actual value or significance.
Property may be underassessed for tax purposes, resulting in lower revenue: The county underassessed commercial buildings for years.
Students may be underassessed when tests fail to capture their abilities.
The word implies the assessment falls short of what accuracy would require.
