How it works

From the client's documents to a board-ready deck.

2 · Scored on the standard

Every dimension is scored on the framework's own scale, with each score traceable to the evidence behind it — gaps ranked by severity.

A board-ready slide deck and HTML report are generated automatically — executive summary, maturity landscape and a sequenced plan.
