# SA checklist
1. Exploratory data analysis, trends and likely signals and signs for later
2. Model structures to be explored
3. Setting up the model to run (initial guess etc)
4. Model run and convergence
5. Full suite of model fits and diagnostics
6. Potential modifications after initial fitting
7. Stock status summary
8. Projections etc.
# ICES Suggested details to deal with in benchmark assessments.
- What have been the key areas of focus for the benchmark?
- Have comments in previous technical minutes been addressed?
- Have environmental issues and species interactions been taken into account?
- Are the catch statistics representative of the removals from the stocks (discards, underreporting, misreporting)?
- Has the quality of the survey data been evaluated and presented in the report?
- Has the quality of fishery dependent data (catch, effort, cpue) been evaluated and presented in the report?
- Has the sampling level (commercial catch, discards, surveys) been presented and evaluated?
## Stock assessment modelling:
- Has the sensitivity to model assumptions (different model formulations) been explored?
- Has the sensitivity of parameter estimates to data been evaluated and presented (e.g. bootstrap analysis)?
- Has retrospective analysis been carried out and presented?
- Is the final assessment acceptable to: 1) show the historical stock development 2) show the present status, and 3) be used for a short term forecast?
- Are the recruitment estimates presented and credible?
- If a short term forecast is presented:
- Is the short term forecast consistent with the stock assessment output?
- Has the sensitivity of the short term forecast been discussed (including the current year assumption)?
- Are the (previous) reference points (still) appropriate?
