[Characteristic] Objectively assessable
Criteria that are able to be objectively assessed on the basis of the information and supporting documentation provided by applicants and available from other sources (such as public records) maximise the potential for the relative merits of all applications to be consistently assessed, leading to informed decision-making. Criteria that are based on subjective assessments and/or statements by applicants are likely to diminish the robustness, consistency and defensibility of the selection process.
