We have been doing this for intranets for a little over five years, with n > 200. However, the purpose of our evaluations has been to compare intranets (hence 'Intranet Benchmarking Forum') rather than to find all possible usability issues. At the outset, we devised a set of goal-oriented metrics (such as does a site provide adequate navigational feedback, is content well-structured for online reading and so on) and one 'expert' (me) has done all of the evaluations.

I am afraid that I cannot be more specific about the metrics themselves, but we have certainly found this a useful approach. There is more general information at http://www.ibforum.com
