Never heard of it...

P.S. Regarding QA (proofreading/editing/reviewing or whatever you call it) I work regularly with 2 revisers (one internal and one external) and though I prefer translating I also occasionally revise others’ work and none of us has ever heard of LISA.

I know that a "metric" (noun) something to do with measuring. However, quality assurance sounds like something that would be rather difficult to measure. In other words, it sounds a bit new-age and/or business speak to me.
As a freelancer, my quality assurance usually consists of showing my draft to a competent friend or colleague and asking if they think it's up to scratch.

No, never heard of it Feb 6, 2018

Are you writing an article to explain it once the poll is closed ? (too lazy to spontaneously look up for it )

LISA no longer exists (but I'm sure Lisa does)

It is an attempt to quantify and compare texts Feb 6, 2018

It is one of those systems loved by agencies - you can add up how many commas are missing or misplaced, discuss mistranslations and lots more.

My feeling is that it is not a lot of practical use.

No two translations are the same, and translators are individuals. You can use it as a rough measure of whether a certain individual has understood the source text and/or is able to write correctly in the target language.

What you do with it after that is a good question.

It may or may not be more useful when it comes to DTP and the rest of the setup - I do not know enough about it.

I think it's an abbrivation for a headline that's related to the topic you're working on

Never heard of it. And given the colleagues' feedback below, I don't wanna know it either.
