Based on the chapters in this volume and feedback from others, this chapter presents a revised framework for site‐visit standards. The framework, for the first time, uses a quality‐assurance approach to distinguish minimum quality‐control standards for site visits in addition to quality‐enhancement principles aimed at ensuring excellence. The chapter concludes with a call to make evaluation fieldwork standards‐based.
