I have the descriptions and need help to find the words.
1
Everything is possibly good for us or harmful to us. What would you call the action we take to determine something is good for us or harmful to us?
(What I can think of is "evaluate". But I doubt it's the word natives speakers would use.)
2
When we have the results (good for us or harmful to us), we rate them from the most harmful to the best with a frame of reference. It could be a one dimensional coordinate system. The value of the reference point is zero (neither good for nor harmful to us). The right direction is positive (good) and the left negative (harmful).
(What I can think of is "rate", which I have already used. But what word would you use?)
