From page 11...
... Consistent with its Statement of Task, the committee focused on evaluating whether DoD's selected modeling approach and the application of the approach were appropriate for deriving candidate lead OELs. The committee did not perform a comprehensive evaluation of the DoD-O'Flaherty model framework, including the model code, equations, and model variables that define the model.

From page 12...
... The committee's final summary conclusions regarding the approach and application of the approach are built from the analyses of those four broad questions. In assessing whether specific aspects of DoD's modeling approach and its application were appropriate or reasonable, the committee often relied on its professional judgment, as it was not feasible to apply specific written standards.
