• How to decide which is the best solution among the alternatives
• How uncertainty and doubt are reduced so that a reasonable choice can be made among alternatives
• A standard, rule, or test on which a judgment or decision can be based.
• The basis for comparison among alternatives
• The ideal in terms of which something can be judged
• Specific measures used to determine the best choice among alternatives
• A gauge, norm or yardstick
