Criteria of a good concept

Coherence: differentiation, definition, clarity, boundedness. How internally coherent and externally differentiated are the attributes of the concept vis-a-vis neighbouring concepts and entities?
Operationalization: measurement, indicators, precision. How clear are a concept’s borders? How do we know it when we see it?
Validity: accuracy, truth, reliability. Is the concept valid? Are we measuring what we are supposed to be measuring?
Field Utility: natural kinds, classificatory utility. How useful is the concept within a field of closely related concepts?
Resonance: familiarity, normal usage. How resonant is the concept – in ordinary and/or specialized contexts?
Contextual Range: breadth, scope, compass, reach, stretch. Across how many linguistic contexts (language regions) is a concept viable? How far can it travel?
Parsimony: How short is (a) the term and (b) its list of defining attributes?
Analytic/empirical utility: How useful is the concept within a particular analytic (theoretical) context or research design?
