Evaluate, analyse (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assay

This clue is a double definition.

'evaluate' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'analyse' is the second definition.
(assaying is a kind of analysing)

(Other definitions for assay that I've seen before include "Test quality of metals" , "'Analyse, precious metal, say (5)'" , "metallurgical test" , "Test ore for content" , "Test gold" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
