I have no knowledge of LimeSurvey but I am prepared to learn. First, I’d like to understand whether the tool can meet my need.

I need to create a survey with approximately 30 conditional questions for approximately 100 respondents.
The survey link will be sent by email to the respondents for them to complete.
The respondent will need to be able to upload pdfs and/or jpgs to support their answer for each question.

Once the respondent has completed the survey, I need have two independent assessors able to independently review and add their own score to each response. (i.e. for each question, how well did the respondent meet the criteria).

Finally, I want to load the data from the survey into an excel spreadsheet so that the respondents can be ranked.

I’m hoping that LimeSurvey can deliver this functionality.

The way that I foresee the assessor functionality working, is that the assessor’s score field will only be displayed when the assessor is accessing the completed survey (e.g. hidden when the respondent completes the survey and hidden from the other assessor).

In addition, the respondent should also be able to revisit and update the survey if necessary after submission, requiring the assessor to re-assess the questions that have been changed.

Is LimeSurvey able to meet these criteria?

Yep, no problem

Well... administrators can sure review responses.
There is also an assessment mode to attach a score to a given answer (in automatic mode).
But I don't think that an administrator can arbitrarily attribute a score to an answer

No problem: then your assessors could attribute the score in the excel sheet

I'd say you can do that with LimeSurvey, but you will need to hire a LimeSurvey partner to build the plugins to reach that specific goal (you can also do it by yourself if you have some PHP coding skills).

We're looking for a similar process, where the reviewers get access to the responses of the participants and indicate their assessment of each response according to a set of assessment areas. Ideally we'd do that inside LS.

The survey to the participants is set up and going out next week. I can that there is an Assessment feature, but apparently that's only for automatic, quantitative, assessments, not qualitative, and moreover it is show automatically right after the respondent sends in his/her response. That's not it for us. Or can we configure that so that the Assessment is only showing up internally, for those with permission to access the survey's responses? "Enable assessment mode:" is activated and I have defined an assessment question.
