The DIA glossary assigns evaluation to different people in training and operational work. This is distinct from simply telling the viewer what the target was, which it calls feedback.

A 1999 journal contributor describes taking the first Exploration 27 and feeling at home in the Focus 27 experience.

The DIA protocols describe trained attention and an altered state as components of this method. ERV names that procedure, not a measured guarantee that the reported impressions identify the target. Usage: DIA protocol terminology Editorial definition: /terminology#extended-remote-viewing References: DIA protocols: glossary and methodologies (archive scan) https://archive.org/details/tmi-army-dia-protocols Extrasensory perception (ESP; extra-sensory perception) · Research & perception A label for claimed perception that is not accounted for by known sensory means.
The DIA glossary uses ESP as a broad category. Remote viewing is a more specific task and procedure; calling an experience ESP does not rule out ordinary explanations. Usage: DIA protocol glossary Editorial definition: /terminology#esp References: DIA protocols: glossary and methodologies (archive scan) https://archive.org/details/tmi-army-dia-protocols Feedback (target feedback) · Research & perception Information about the intended target given to the viewer after a session. The DIA protocols distinguish training feedback from operational work, where information may be delayed. Giving feedback after recording impressions helps keep the original report separate from later knowledge.
