Welcome
The consolidation phase starts once the assessments for a project were submitted by all the experts and, one of the experts was nominated as consolidator and the other(s) as approval expert. There might however be a situation that not all experts have to approve the consolidation, if they were excluded by the selection manager upon creation of the consolidation in OEET.
From a technical point of view, the consolidated assessment works in the same way as the individual assessment except if the approval of expert(s) is needed.
