analysis
'die Analyse' and 'die Auswertung' are very close when it comes to data, results, or information. An analysis is a close examination in which you want to understand structures, causes, or connections. 'die Auswertung' especially means organizing existing data or results and drawing conclusions from them. Learners may confuse the words because an 'Auswertung' often includes an analysis. 'Auswertung' sounds especially natural after surveys, tests, measurements, or statistics. 'Analyse' is more general and can also refer to texts, problems, or systems.
