Ideally, something that means to appraise or assess value from a distance.
I don't think there is going to be such a word.
But something similar, like to assess a situation, or to assess risk could be close analogues for what I want. Thanks.

Consider changing the phrase close to it in your title to the word similar so that the afar/close relationship doesn't make the word it mean the thing assessed.– LawrenceNov 15, 2018 at 22:36

It might clarify things a bit if you were to explain what you mean by 'distance.' Is that geographic, psychological or visual (and so on) distance?– DJohnsonNov 16, 2018 at 18:02

2Being a fly on the wall is specifically not observing from a distance, but observing, unnoticed, “right there in the room” as it were.– JimDec 16, 2018 at 18:15
