Not easy to understand - Reasoning by Criteria

Reading through the various reasoning concepts, the one that seemed the most unclear was the idea of reasoning by criteria. I understand that a ‘criteria’ can be a certain measurement, condition, or standard used in making a decision, but I was sure how this was to be utilized within an argument and I felt the suggested website did not provide an adequate example to expand on this concept. Upon further research, it appears that this is actually a claim or statement that suggests or offers a choice; as opposed to having a choice or decision already made.

The job guidelines are clearly defined; its possible that this applicant meets the necessary requirements.
Not: This applicant does not qualify.

The nursing program requires 40 hours of community service work for an agency or organization that you might recommend to your client.
Not: The San Jose Food Bank is an excellent agency.
