Spanish term or phrase: asertividad
Any Customs experts out there who could help with this term? I can't manage better than "inspection," but this seems to imply something more.
Thanks!

Este nuevo hallazgo viene a demostrar la eficiencia con la que opera Aduanas en su rol fiscalizador ... contar con tecnología como el camión escaner ha permitido aumentar los decomisos y mejorar la asertividad.

Otra área destacada por el Director Nacional fue la fiscalización, donde resaltó que Aduanas fiscalizó durante el 2007 más de 78 mil operaciones de importación, con un promedio de asertividad del 12,21%.

Durante el 2006 incorporamos indicadores que nos permitieron medir la eficiencia de nuestra fiscalización en línea, lo que arrojó un promedio de 11% de asertividad en el total de destinaciones aduaneras de ingreso seleccionadas para una fiscalización en línea -más de 67 mil operaciones-.
