evaluiert

Evaluiert is a form of the German verb evaluieren, meaning to evaluate. It is the third-person singular present indicative: Der Forscher evaluiert die Ergebnisse. In addition, evaluiert can serve as the past participle when used with the auxiliary haben to form the Perfekt: Er hat evaluiert. The verb belongs to the -ieren class, with the stem evalui-, and the spelling reflects the stem that comes from the root related to the English evaluate or the French évaluer.

In formal writing, it is common in academic, scientific, and business texts; in everyday language, more general verbs like bewerten or prüfen may be used.
