Suitability [gradable]
This Frame is concerned with evaluating an Evaluee as being suitable for a Purpose or a User, presupposing some choice that is being made about which Evaluee to use for the Purpose or User. An LU like suitable.a thus implies that, given a particular Purpose or User, the Evaluee is one which could be or ought to be chosen. The Evaluee may be deemed suitable to a greater or lesser Degree. This frame has some similarity to the compatibility frame where two Items are evaluated with respect to their compatibility with each other against some background.

(3) We are not sure about the Cathedral's suitability for Philharmonic concerts.
