There's an article by Kees Dorst and Nigel Cross that describes a
protocol study of designers working on the same brief and also how the
results are evaluated with the help of a panel. The panel has several
criteria that they judge the different suggestions by: Ergonomics,
Technical, Aesthetics, Business, Creativity and Total aspects.
Besides this, which could be of some help to you, the paper has some
interesting comments on the importance of "naming and framing" ability.
