Goal quantification is an advance statement of how well the planner hopes a program will succeed. However, in many cases there is no objective data to indicate the benefits of a particular program. Goals made in advance often have no basis. It is easier to set and meet administrative goals than impact goals. If impact goals must be set, however, there are some rules of thumb that may help in setting them realistically. Realistic goals may also be set by determining the size of change that can be detected with some statistical significance. Where there is no such basis, setting quantitative goals should be avoided.
