What It Measures

The assessment evaluates your organization across the 5 pillars of GTM operational excellence:

Pillar	Categories	Questions	What It Evaluates
I. Strategy	5	24	ICP & market definition, territory design & coverage, revenue model & planning, pricing & packaging, public sector & district readiness
II. People	5	25	Organizational design & roles, quota modeling & capacity, hiring & onboarding, enablement & training, culture & motivation
III. Process	7	39	Pipeline creation & qualification, deal progression & closing, onboarding & adoption, renewal & retention, expansion motion, operating cadences, cross-functional handoffs
IV. Systems	5	28	CRM architecture & hygiene, tech stack & connector health, data governance & source of truth, signal infrastructure, AI & automation readiness
V. Metrics	5	26	Pipeline metrics & forecasting, revenue attribution, retention & expansion metrics, executive & board reporting, metric governance

Total: 27 categories, 142 questions

How Scoring Works

Each question is scored on a 3-point scale:

Response	Score	Meaning
Doesn’t Exist	0	This capability does not exist in your organization
Partially There	1	Some elements exist but are inconsistent or incomplete
Fully Deployed	2	This capability is well-established and consistently executed

Pillar scores are calculated as the percentage of maximum possible points within that pillar. For example, if Strategy has 24 questions (max 48 points) and you score 36, your Strategy pillar score is 75%. Overall score is the percentage of total points scored across all 142 questions (max 284 points).

Maturity Tiers

Your overall score maps to one of four maturity tiers:

Tier	Score Range	Description
Foundation	0–39%	Core GTM processes are missing or ad hoc. Significant structural gaps exist across most pillars. Immediate foundational work is needed.
Emerging	40–64%	Basic GTM structure exists but execution is inconsistent. Key processes are partially defined. Focus areas are becoming clear.
Mature	65–85%	GTM operations are established and repeatable. Most processes are documented and governed. Optimization and intelligence layering are the next step.
Advanced	86–100%	GTM operations are data-driven and continuously improving. Processes are automated, signals are routed, and the organization operates as a revenue machine.
