for verification of the findings’ accuracy and clarity.
4.6 Rating
4.6.1 The method shall define a rating process that specifies, at a
minimum, the following:
4.6.1.a
4.6.1.b
4.6.1.c
4.6.1.d
2.4 Generate Appraisal
Results
(A) An appraisal team can rate a specific or generic goal when 2.4 Generate Appraisal
valid observations for each practice related to the goal meet the Results
method’s defined data coverage criteria.
(A) An appraisal team can rate a process area when it has rated
each of the process area’s specific goals and generic goals
within the appraisal scope.
(A)An appraisal team can determine a maturity level rating
once it has rated all of the process areas within that level and
each level below.
(A) An appraisal team can determine the capability level of a
process area when it has rated each of the generic goals at or
below the target capability level.

4.6.2 (A)The method shall require that maturity level ratings and/or 2.4 Generate Appraisal
capability level ratings be based on the definitions of capability Results
levels and maturity levels in the CMMI models.
4.6.3 The method shall rate each specific and generic goal (provided
the prerequisites of rating have been completed) within the
appraisal scope in accordance with the following rules:
4.6.3.a
(A) Rate the goal “satisfied” when the associated generic or
specific practices (or acceptable alternative practices) are
judged to be implemented and the aggregate of weaknesses
does not have a significant negative impact on goal achievement.
