Thank you for the feedback, Rick! As a member of the working group, I can confirm that this issue of vendor score vs. 
post-assessment score has been discussed and making these medications to the documents will be a high priority in the 
Phase V development cycle. I cannot comment of specifics at this time but your suffering is shared by all (at least for 
now).

If you don’t mind, one of us may reach out to you to discuss further. Let me know.

All,
Any thoughts or alternatives to the idea of adding two columns in the Analyst Report to show the original Vendor 
score and the Analyst score.
The Analyst score would be based on the overrides provided in  column G typically rows 31 and beyond, which should 
have documentation on why the Analyst is overriding the Vendor score.
We would also add a feature to easily add override rows for the analyst for any entry that the vendor provided.
 
The goal is to show the vendors response and the resultant grade then document the analysts review with 
documentation.  This will provide us a document that we can refer to for the periodic reviews and if any issues come 
up.
Our analyst overrides or comments are necessary as they are specific to the context, and contract specifics of the 
project and the data.
 
How do you handle the particulars of accepting or rejecting response lines?  We dicussed using an additional document 
but rejected as keeping the two documents matched up would cause us more work when performing annual reviews.
 
My apologies if this has already been discussed.
