## Self-Assessments Overview

**Self-Assessments** let store managers submit photo-based evaluations of their store between formal walks.
- Admins create **assessment templates** with customizable prompts (under Templates → Assessments)
- Store managers **submit photos** with self-ratings for each prompt
- **AI analyzes** each photo and provides its own rating with detailed observations
- Reviewers can **override AI ratings** and add their own commentary per submission
- **Action items** can be created from assessment findings with configurable deadlines
- Store managers receive **email notifications** when action items are assigned

Self-assessments help maintain standards between formal evaluations and give managers ownership of their store's presentation.
