Standard Setting

Standard setting is the process of establishing benchmarks or criteria to evaluate performance or quality. It involves determining specific levels or thresholds that define success, safety, or adequacy in various contexts, such as education, healthcare, or industry. These standards guide decision-making, ensure consistency, and help maintain quality by providing clear targets or minimum requirements that organizations or individuals should meet. The process often includes research, expert input, and stakeholder consensus to create relevant, achievable, and reliable benchmarks.
