What are the three phases of a WVA?

• A. PRE-Assessment; INFORMATION GATHERING; INFORMATION PROCESSING
• B. INITIAL ASSESSMENT; DATA COLLECTION; ANALYSIS
• C. SCOPING; DATA GATHERING; REPORTING
• D. PRE-Planning; INFORMATION SHARING; RISK ASSESSMENT

Answer: (A)

A WVA is organized as a planning-to-data-to-insight workflow. The first phase focuses on preparation before any data work begins—setting scope, goals, roles, and methods. The second phase is about gathering all relevant information and evidence. The final phase turns that information into usable conclusions through organizing, analyzing, and synthesizing it to produce findings and recommendations. That sequence—Pre-Assessment, Information Gathering, Information Processing—fits the standard WVA flow exactly, which is why it’s the best choice. Other sequences alter the focus (for example, ending with reporting or risk assessment) or mix in planning elements that aren’t part of the core three-phase progression.
