The user-specific quality is its understandability and usefulness for making decisions. The primary qualitative characteristics are Relevance and Reliability. The components of Relevance are materiality, predictive value, and feedback value (or confirmatory). Under Reliability (or faithful representation), the components are verifiability, neutrality, and representational faithfulness (i.e., free from error). The secondary qualities are Comparability and Consistency. In Comparability, you have to consider cost effectiveness (do benefits exceed costs?). For Consistency, there is a materiality constraint and recognition threshold.
