Abstract | The advantages of the adversary evaluation model are argued. Adversary evaluation utilizes a judicial, argumentative approach and promotes the use of multiple types and sources of data. It grants an investigative license to dig out the data to a greater extent than more traditional approaches. Some of the payoffs of the adversary approach are: (1) the critical input of colleagues is considered at the most opportune time--prior to actual investigation; (2) the inclusion of provocative questions which address the real issues of various subgroups is encouraged, resulting in the selection or development of higher quality instruments; (3) the model explicitly encourages the use of qualitative as well as quantitative information; (4) it grants the freedom of investigative license; (5) because polar positions are represented, people feel that issues they believe to be important are not overlooked; and (6) the model provides a built in meta-evaluation.
