Synonyms for "Evaluated" on a resume
"Evaluated" describes looking closely at something, but it stops short of the decision or change that followed. Analytical resumes get much stronger when the verb carries the consequence.
When to actually use "evaluated"
Use it when the assessment itself was the deliverable — a formal review, vendor selection, or program evaluation.

What is another word for "evaluated" on a resume?
