What is an "appraisal"?
An appraisal is the process of evaluating and forming an opinion about someone or something to determine their value or quality. This often involves examining various aspects to evaluate worth, quality, or performance. Appraisals can be used in many contexts, such as evaluating the worth of an artwork, an employee's job performance, or the condition of a property. The goal is to provide a clear and thorough evaluation based on specific factors.
