- Elaborate technical approaches in view of the comparison of the ex-ante and ex-post verification results in the databases/STATA

- Data cleansing: searching for any missing data, outliers or irregular data. Irregular data refers to situations where particular assessors always assign the same summary assessment score for a specific checklist: this might be correct but requires further checking

Furthermore, assessments with tools which could not be used with the same member of staff by both the ex-ante and ex-post teams must be excluded from the calculation of the summary facility scores.
