Is an evaluation considered complete once the ratee has reviewed the final draft?

An evaluation is not considered complete once the ratee has reviewed the final draft because the evaluation process typically includes several additional steps before it can be deemed final. Review by the ratee is an important part of the process, as it allows for feedback and clarification; however, the completion of an evaluation usually involves additional actions such as incorporating any necessary revisions, obtaining final approvals, and ensuring that all evaluators have provided their input.

The evaluation is finalized only after all stakeholders have contributed and any potential discrepancies or disputes have been resolved. This ensures a comprehensive and fair assessment that reflects multiple perspectives. Additionally, there may be follow-up discussions or adjustments based on the ratee's input, leading to a more thorough and legitimate evaluation process. Hence, the completion of the evaluation is contingent on more than just the ratee's review of the draft.
