German term or phrase: auswertbar
This is from a slide presentation on quality control where various tasks are listed in bullets. The heading is Abweichungsanalyse, which I'm translating as non-conformance analysis. Literally, auswertbar would be evaluable, and I've seen it used but surely there's a more commonly used word.

Methode und Ablauf zur Fehlererefassung und aussagekräftigen, automatisch auswertbaren Abweichungs-Dokumentation erarbeiten.

I would rephrase the whole sentence
Explanation:
"To develop a method and process for the registration of errors and meaningful variations and for their automatic evaluation."

Maybe an option?

My thanks to everyone for the fine suggestions. I thought Olaf's approach was sound and I also discovered that "variance analysis" is better in this quality control context than non-conformance analysis - thanks David.
Here's what I ended up with:
Develop a method and process for registering errors and meaningful, automatic evaluation of variance documentation.

agree  Maureen Holm, J.D., LL.M.: It still comes down to this because you're getting raw data and they're claiming that you can see at a glance what it means analytically. Statistics illustrated, if you will. You can, er, see how you're doin'.

for your selection of other possibilities


Explanation:
assessable
appraisable
to measure, to assess, to appraise, quite frankly all these word ending in "able" seem a little awkward, I would try to reword it differently, as already suggested.

Which can be evaluated


Explanation:
is the only solution which immediately occurs to me; would "variance analysis" not also fit? I'm not at all sure about "evaluable" - I agree with your unspoken thought that you don't really like it!
