Brownstone Inc assessed an innovative methodology to monitor its competitors' progress.
This sentence conveys an illogical meaning.
The purpose of the assessment was not TO MONITOR the progress of Brownstone's competitors.
Rather, Brownstone ASSESSED the methodology in order to determine the SUITABILITY of the methodology.
I would ignore this SC.
