Assessment Matrix and Guidance Document
Vision 20/20 Technical Advisors will utilize the following matrix to assess the current landscape within each State. The process will require a series of short meetings with state contacts to gather intelligence and data for the assessment and will result in a short presentation to the technical advisor group to gain consensus on tier assignment.
