“befinden” and “bewerten” can both express a judgment made after an examination. “Befinden” is usually used with “für” and a predicative expression, while “bewerten” directly denotes the evaluation. Choose “befinden” when the phrasing “für gut oder geeignet” (deem good or suitable) fits, and “bewerten” for a general assessment.
