The article examines two external evaluative approaches relevant to the higher education system of Uzbekistan:the approach of QS Quacquarelli Symonds and that of the national authority responsible for quality assurance andthe ranking system in Uzbekistan. Two semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with a QS representative anda specialist responsible for the national ranking system. The analysis reveals a notable convergence in three areas: thegrowing emphasis on external data to verify institutional activities, a cautious approach to whether formal compliance issufficient to achieve substantive institutional improvement, and the important role of resource allocation in making strategiccommitments credible. This convergence is significant because independent evaluation systems appear to be aligningaround a common principle: data credibility and sustainable institutional capacity are more important than the volumeof information provided by universities. The article also develops the concept of a “resource allocation test,” accordingto which a strategic priority can be considered “substantive” only when it is supported by specific resources, assignedresponsibility, and a defined implementation timeline. The findings have implications for higher education governance inUzbekistan, particularly for the formulation of ranking policy, the development of institutional data systems, research funding,and the definition of different university missions
