Hello. May I ask a question about how to choose the model for program evaluation? Sometimes I find that it is not enough to adopt only one model. Can I use different models in a program evaluation at the same time?

Hi, we are invited to develop an evaluation program on IFSCs. May I ask why we need to clarify the meaning of evaluation to the program personnel? I thought it was common sense.
