Anyone have lists on ways to evaluate effectiveness in a spreadsheet, database and website?

The effectiveness of a solution is directly related to what the original goals were. The better it has achieved the goal = the higher the effectiveness is.

This is why it's hard to list specific criteria for those, since it's dependent on the goals. Talking generally, you could ask "Are the reports/graphs produced clear and understandable?", "Is the information on the website relevant and useful?".

Those questions stemmed from the definition of effectiveness (quality, relevance, usefulness etc).
