"# Criteria Evaluation\n",
"\n",
"In scenarios where you wish to assess a model's output using a specific rubric or criteria set, the `criteria` evaluator proves to be a handy tool. It allows you to verify if an LLM or Chain's output complies with a defined set of criteria.\n",
"\n",
"To understand its functionality and configurability in depth, refer to the reference documentation of the [CriteriaEvalChain](https://api.python.langchain.com/en/latest/evaluation/langchain.evaluation.criteria.eval_chain.CriteriaEvalChain.html#langchain.evaluation.criteria.eval_chain.CriteriaEvalChain) class.\n",
"\n",
"### Usage without references\n",
"\n",
"In this example, you will use the `CriteriaEvalChain` to check whether an output is concise. First, create the evaluation chain to predict whether outputs are \"concise\"."
