An Assessment represents the result of an analysis of the state of affairs of the enterprise with respect to some driver.

An Assessment may reveal strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, or threats for some area of interest. These outcomes need to be addressed by adjusting existing goals or setting new ones, which may trigger changes to the enterprise architecture.

The name of an Assessment should preferably be a noun or a very short sentence.
