Evaluation and Selection often happens at two or more levels.

GInI’s CInP Handbook describes the Evaluation and Selection process in InMS Stage 3 as multi-tiered, with increasing authority at higher levels. The " second level " typically involves " executives " from across the business—senior leaders with strategic oversight—who review recommendations from initial teams (e.g., first-level evaluators) to make go/no-go decisions on project conversion. This reflects GInI’s governance model, ensuring alignment with organizational goals and resource allocation. " Qualitative analysts " (A) are specialists, not decision-makers. " Innovation Managers " (B) lead programs, not necessarily the second tier. " Various volunteers " (D) lack authority and structure. Option C aligns with GInI’s framework, matching the original answer, embodying a hierarchical, executive-driven filter—a GInI mechanism for balancing creativity with business pragmatism.
