мониторинг эффективности инструмента оценки

just saw your peer comment today, and it made me smile, as I had left a similar one in a different thread the other day.
I'm not a fan of bettering the original either, unless justified. but it's my long-standing direct client, and they often use those terms interchangeably in their own renditions into EN, so in this particular case it was legit.

In my case, it's just a habit, acquired back in the early web 2.0 days, from hanging out at less formal web platforms. It is a writing style some people have adopted, which in no way testifies to their grammar skills, or a lack thereof -- or to anything, really. Just a style of writing on the web.
Sorry if it causes inconvenience.

I don't see the problem. "Evaluate the effectiveness of the tool" gets plenty of hits in Google Scholar, and is perfectly idiomatic: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q="evaluate the effective...
