The Importance of Defining Evaluative Criteria

When evaluating the relative merit of current and alternative theories of action, it is crucial to define the evaluative criteria. This involves identifying the important outcomes and criteria that need to be met for a theory to be considered effective and worthwhile. By clearly defining the criteria, both parties can have a shared understanding of what needs to be achieved and can more effectively evaluate the theories of action being discussed.
