What type of appraisal can be scoped down after a Benchmark appraisal?

A Sustainment appraisal is designed to evaluate how well an organization maintains its process improvements after a Benchmark appraisal. This type of appraisal is suitable for organizations that have already undergone a more comprehensive assessment and are looking to focus on specific areas of improvement or ensure that previous gains are being sustained.

The Sustainment appraisal allows the organization to assess ongoing processes without needing to go through the entire depth of a Full Assessment again. It can effectively focus on certain aspects identified during the Benchmark appraisal, which provides a valuable opportunity for organizations to monitor their progress and adapt to changing circumstances.

The other appraisal types, while relevant in different contexts, do not specifically carry the same intent of maintaining or checking for sustainability after a Benchmark appraisal.
