Comment: "Thanks pj-ffm... I went with current state assessment, as a google search seemed to link it in this context with greater frequency."

Note from asker:
My version of Dictionary cc doesn't have this word, but what exactly do you mean by "siting?" The OED defines siting as a location for a building. It doesn't really seem to fit in this context. |
Aha.. you're right.. I just saw the "sorry, no results," and my eye didn't even see the suggestion below. Many thanks, Ellen. |

situational analysis
This term could also be seen from a figurative point of view. Especially in this context it could mean something like situational analysis, status assessment or similar. This term also cropped up in my academic project this weekend (political science) and that is how I used it. You will have to see exactly how (and if) it fits in with the rest of your context though.
Note from asker:
Inge, thank you for getting this on the right track. I think that your wording would even work in this context, but I'm going to go with pj-ffm's suggestion, because it seems even a closer fit. I do appreciate your input, though. It was very helpful |

: I agree, any combination of "situational", "status" and "assessment" or "analysis" would work fine here, but I believe "current state analysis" is the phrase most commonly used in this context.
