kriteeripaketteina

Kriteeripaketteina is a Finnish term that means “as bundles of criteria.” It is formed from the words kriteeri (criterion) and paketti (package), with the essive plural ending to express the role of something used as or presented as. The phrase describes organizing evaluation criteria into predefined groups or packages rather than treating each criterion separately.

The term is used in contexts such as public procurement, research funding, and quality assurance, where criteria are grouped into cohesive sets to be evaluated together. Using kriteeripaketteina aims to improve comparability, transparency, and efficiency in decision making by standardizing how assessments are conducted and reported.

Typical features of a kriteeripaketti include a defined scope, a collection of related criteria, and a scoring rule or method for the package as a whole. Examples of packages might include a technical package (specifications and performance), a financial package (cost, value, and financial risk), and a sustainability or compliance package. Weighting can be applied at the package level or to individual criteria within a package, depending on the framework.

In practice, referring to evaluation “kriteeripaketteina” signals that assessments are organized around grouped criteria to facilitate systematic comparisons across candidates, bids, or proposals. See also kriteeri, paketti, arviointi, kilpailutus.
