The issue of project evaluation is one of the most demanded not only for the client side but also for experienced professionals. The diversity of approaches by different studios adds a considerable amount of fog to the assessment process.

To clarify the situation a bit, we will try to dissect our approach in this complicated matter in this cycle.
