Thank you for raising the issue. Happy to clarify further.
By evaluation we refer essentially[1] to the definition on Wikipedia page here.
Evaluation is a systematic determination of a subject’s merit, worth and significance, using criteria governed by a set of standards. It can assist an organization, program, design, project or any other intervention or initiative to assess any aim, realisable concept/proposal, or any alternative, to help in decision-making; or to ascertain the degree of achievement or value in regard to the aim and objectives and results of any such action that has been completed
By “interesting” we mean what will do well on the listed rubric. We’re looking for examples that would be informative for setting up new research evaluation setups. This doesn’t mean the examples have to deal with research, but rather that they bring something new to the table that could be translated. For example, maybe there’s a good story of a standardized evaluation that made a community or government significantly more or less effective.
[1] I say “essentially” because I can imagine that maybe someone will point out some unintended artifact in the definition that goes against our intuitions, but I think that this is rather unlikely to be a problem.
