In today’s information-saturated world, we rely on evaluations like ratings and rankings to make decisions. Evaluations guide large and small choices, from the pizza we order and the books we read, to the doctors we visit and the retirement funds we select. Even large organizations and government agencies rely on evaluations to make big decisions about the programs they fund and the partners they work with. Evaluations are helpful for decision makers because they distill vast and complex information into a single metric that is easier to understand and use in comparing choices. But while evaluations simplify the decision-making process, they often conceal crucial contextual details underlying the metrics, including the nature of the work done and the lives of the individuals whose work is evaluated.- Reproduced
