I think that we agree about the problem not about the solution. Anyway what it should be clear is that I have never spoken about an "algorithm" but about a matrix of parameters to evaluate a project.
These parameters have been enumerated *but* after the evaluation of the project. This has generated anyway a wasting of time. Unfortunately I know that any project is specific and peculiar but the *personal* feeling doesn't help because it means that another FDC will evaluate it differently. regards On Mon, Apr 29, 2013 at 2:52 PM, Dariusz Jemielniak <dar...@alk.edu.pl>wrote: > > > Ilario - I disagree with your view that we should have an algorithm of > evaluating projects, mainly because projects vary quite a lot.
