Well, I don't know of any either, but I have never looked. Fact is,
meaningfulness depends on what each of us needs and actually find
meaningful. So, it's entirely possible that no one has preformed before
the specific evaluation you would like to see...

I think you should:
- ask them directly,
- begin considering doing some evaluation yourself. If you do, we're
definitely interested in seeing what you will find out.
