Zhodnocení

Zhodnocení is a Czech noun meaning the act of evaluating, appraising, or assessing something's value, quality, or compliance with criteria. It is formed from the verb zhodnotit, meaning to evaluate or assess, and the suffix -ní. The term is widely used in formal and professional contexts and is distinct from more general terms such as hodnocení or posouzení, though they are related.

In business and finance, zhodnocení refers to the valuation of assets, investments, or companies, including determining fair value for reporting, budgeting, or decision-making. In real estate, it denotes property appraisal to determine market value. In project management and risk assessment, it is used for evaluating outcomes, performance against objectives, and identifying risks or opportunities. It can also appear in research and education to describe the assessment of results or quality of work.
