Problem Definition
	Exemplary/Excellent 5 pts	Accomplished/Good 4 pts	Developing/Fair 3 pts	Deficient/Poor 2 pts
Statement of need	Exemplary/Excellent A concise and compelling statement of the need that will be met. Statement does not assume a particular solution strategy.	Accomplished/Good The statement of need is understandable and does not assume a particular solution strategy, but is poorly written.	Developing/Fair The statement of need is understandable but points to specific solution strategies.	Deficient/Poor The statement of need is present but unclear.
Exploration of solution strategies	Exemplary/Excellent Alternative solution strategies and their relative merits are explored. The case for the recommended solution strategy is well reasoned and supported by the literature.	Accomplished/Good Alternative solution strategies and their relative merits are explored, but the case for the recommended solution strategy is not well supported.	Developing/Fair Alternative solution strategies and their relative merits are not adequately explored or no solution strategy is recommended.	Deficient/Poor Alternative solution strategies and their relative merits are not adequately explored and no solution strategy is recommended.
Performance specifications	Exemplary/Excellent All constraints necessary for a successful solution have been identified and quantified.	Accomplished/Good Most constraints necessary for a successful solution have been both identified and quantified.	Developing/Fair Most constraints necessary for a successful solution have been identified but are not fully quantified.	Deficient/Poor Significant constraints necessary for a successful solution have not been identified.
