peer agreement (net): -1valuemetric Explanation: A rare term in Portuguese that is a calque from another rare term in English. The term may ba gaining ground, of course, as it is part of neo-Gobbledigook. The calque itself is misbegotten: should be "valorimétrico" based on the Latin accusative. Could have been a typo for "volumétrico", of course, but "volumétrico" does not fit here. Google hits include only one instance of valuemetric in a balanche sheet, and that is in a translation from the Portuguese. Other hits are in differnet areas. You may decide to translate it simply as "measurement criteria", which is a bit less unclear, but the client may object to clarity. Who knows. Sentence means "value measurement criteria applied to the several balance sheet accounts". |

Criteria based on values (of data) Explanation: I do not think that someone should translate too archaic word by archaic words:). Here the sense of the term is that criteria are based on comparison ov values. When you want to give to a simple 4*4=16 say more scientific shape you might say that "we used some elements of commutative algebras' multiplication rules". etc. Of course, given this is an historical novel, one should try to invent something similar to original...
