2- Evaluate

This grid corresponds to version 11.2 for which we have changed the vocabulary to make it accessible to all actors at Decathlon (stores, warehouses, factories, brands & services).

To reach a level (A/B/C/D), all the observable situations of the level must be fulfilled.

If none of the observable situations are applied, it means that you have the level E.
