FACES criteria and scoring rubric

	Can the change be implemented relatively easily or quickly?	The intervention does not exist today nor is it likely to become available in the near future; it is highly impractical and not suitable for your organization.	The intervention exists but is not readily available or will require modifications to better fit the context in which it is intended to be used.	The intervention is readily available and could be implemented in a relatively short period of time without much effort.
	Will those being impacted by the intervention readily accept the change?	The intervention will not be tolerated by those it impacts. People are likely to consistently resist the change and attempt to work around the change.	The intervention will be tolerated by those it impacts. There may be moderate resistance but attempts to undermine the change will not be wide spread.	The intervention will be readily accepted by those it impacts. People are likely to welcome the change and make every attempt to ensure it works.
	Does the benefit of the intervention outweigh the costs?	The cost of the intervention is exorbitant relative to its minimal expected impact on safety and performance.	The intervention is moderately expensive but cost could be justified by its expected benefit. Return on investment (benefits) is relatively equal to cost.	The cost of the intervention is nominal relative the expected impact on safety and performance.
	How effective will the invention be at eliminating the problem or reduces its consequences?	The intervention will not directly eliminate the problem or hazard and it relies heavily on willful compliance with the change and/or requires humans to remember to perform the task correctly.	The intervention reduces the likelihood of the problem or hazard occurring but relies in part on the human memory and/or willful compliance with the change.	The intervention will very likely eliminate the problem or hazard and it does not rely on willful compliance with the change or require humans to remember to perform the task correctly.
	How well will the intervention last over time?	The impact of the intervention will diminish rapidly after it is deployed and/or will require extraordinary effort to keep it working.	The benefits of the intervention may have a tendency to slowly dissipate over time and will require moderate efforts to maintain its benefits	The impact of the intervention will persist over time with minimal efforts being required to maintain its benefits.
