What does a maturity score actually contain?

A maturity score is a weighted mean of five dimension scores, and each dimension score is a simple mean of six answers on a 1 to 5 agreement scale. That is the whole headline calculation. Thirty statements in, one number out.

Why does Data weigh more than the rest?

Because every other dimension compounds on it, and a weighted model should reflect dependency, not popularity.

What do the four composite indices reveal that dimensions cannot?

Five dimension scores answer "where are we". Boards ask four different questions, so the model recombines the same five numbers into four composite indices. Each is a fixed weighted blend, published here in full:

How is the digital risk score calculated?

The risk score inverts the lens. Instead of celebrating strengths it prices exposure, on a 0 to 100 scale built from four capped components. Here is the exact arithmetic:

Which patterns does the model detect automatically?

Nineteen, in three families, each with a deterministic trigger. Nothing here is inferred by a language model: a pattern either fires or it does not, and the same profile always produces the same set. Seven are classed critical, seven warning, five informational.

Digital maturity model, fully open: 5 dimensions, 8 stages

Most maturity models are black boxes. This one publishes every weight, threshold and formula, with 20 sector benchmarks and a free 23-page report.

Most digital maturity models are black boxes. You answer thirty questions, a consultant returns a spider chart, and the weights, the thresholds, the benchmarks and the logic that turned your answers into a verdict stay proprietary. You cannot reproduce the number, so you cannot argue with it, so you end up either accepting it or ignoring it. Both outcomes are useless. This article publishes the engine. Every weight, every threshold, every formula, every trigger condition and every sector benchmark used by digital-map.dishine.it, the free assessment I built and run, is written out below in full. Five weighted dimensions, thirty statements, eight stages, four composite indices, a 0 to 100 risk score with its exact arithmetic, nineteen deterministic patterns, twenty sector profiles with weight multipliers, and a priority engine that ranks what to fix first. If you never touch the tool, you can still take the formulas and score yourself on…
