SES then audits and scores participant performance during the event against those criteria. SES prepares a formal after action assessment which describes the event's planning, objectives, and execution, a presentation of the results from the evaluation session and written survey responses, including identified areas of opportunity for improvement. Results of the after action assessment, which include recommendations of potential best practices, training, etc., can be benchmarked over time and compared with the results of other participating organizations establishing baseline data.

Awardees are required to track the level of exercise, the sub-capabilities being targeted, and the participating organizations" -SES tracks all exercises, participants and participant organizations as well as providing all necessary documentation for performance measures tracking which can be submitted with the end-of-year progress reports.
