OBJECTIVES: We aimed to develop a methodology for evaluating convergent validity and inter-rater reliability of value assessment frameworks. METHODS: Framework convergent validity, defined as the correlation among drug rankings across frameworks, can be assessed using Kendall’s W coefficient. Framework reliability is evaluated using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), which measure the stability of outcomes across users. Drugs can be assessed by independent physician and non-physician evaluators, who can use published drug trial data and instructions provided by framework developers to assign each drug a numeric or letter score. Mean scores for drugs within pre-defined categories (e.g., condition; indication) are rank-ordered to estimate Kendall’s W
