Each response rating is assigned a score 10, 5, 0. For each yes, a project gets a score of 10 for each No, the score is 0. For high, medium and low ratings, scores assigned are 10, 5 and 0 respectively.

• Level I : Small Impact Project Below 60
• Level II : Medium Impact Project between 60 to 100
• Level III : High Impact Project Above 100

These levels can be used to disseminate projects that require detailed versus less detailed review. High Impact Project should be given the most thorough review
