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. | ## Your Report After completing the assessment, you receive a comprehensive report including: 1. **Overall maturity tier** with composite score 2. **Per-pillar scores** with visual breakdowns 3. **About your company** — AI-researched company intelligence (funding, scale, market segment, competitive landscape) 4. **Your market context** — ESSER/grant exposure, competitive pressures, and why your specific gaps matter right now 5. **Strengths analysis** — what your organization does well, with specific category-level detail 6. **Gap analysis** — where the biggest opportunities for improvement exist 7. **Next steps** — concrete actions to take in each pillar, with recommended PILLAR modules 8. **Key risk** — the single biggest risk your gaps create, with timeline and impact 9. **90-day maturity roadmap** — a phased improvement plan (Weeks 1–4, 5–8, 9–12) Reports are generated using AI analysis enriched with web-researched company intelligence, calibrated against the actual scoring data. Every insight is grounded in your specific responses and your company's real market position. ## Category Breakdown ### Pillar I: Strategy (24 questions) | Category | Questions | What It Scores | | ---------------------------------- | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ICP & Market Definition | 5 | Firmographic/technographic/behavioral criteria, market sizing, segmentation, buyer personas, win/loss analysis | | Territory Design & Coverage | 5 | Territory model, account potential scoring, coverage ratios, review cadence, capacity planning | | Revenue Model & Planning | 5 | Annual planning, revenue mix targets, ARR/ACV modeling, pricing elasticity, competitive positioning | | Pricing & Packaging | 4 | Pricing strategy, packaging tiers, discount governance, competitive benchmarking | | Public Sector & District Readiness | 5 | Procurement knowledge, co-op pathways, compliance readiness, budget cycle alignment, RFP capability | ### Pillar II: People (25 questions) | Category | Questions | What It Scores | | ----------------------------- | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Organizational Design & Roles | 5 | Role clarity, career progression, reporting structure, cross-functional alignment, span of control | | Quota Modeling & Capacity | 5 | Quota methodology, ramp modeling, capacity planning, attainment tracking, territory balance | | Hiring & Onboarding | 5 | Hiring pipeline, interview rigor, onboarding program, time-to-productivity, retention | | Enablement & Training | 5 | Enablement content, product training, competitive training, coaching cadence, certification | | Culture & Motivation | 5 | Comp plan alignment, recognition programs, team engagement, collaboration, accountability | ### Pillar III: Process (39 questions) | Category | Questions | What It Scores | | --------------------------------- | --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Pipeline Creation & Qualification | 5 | Source mix, qualification criteria, MQL/SQL definitions, lead routing, pipeline generation targets | | Deal Progression & Closing | 5 | Stage exit criteria, multi-threading, economic buyer access, mutual close plans, competitive displacement | | Onboarding & Adoption | 4 | Time-to-value, adoption milestones, health scoring, customer training, success planning | | Renewal & Retention | 5 | Renewal calendar, risk scoring, save plays, churn analysis, retention targets | | Expansion Motion | 5 | Cross-sell/upsell framework, whitespace mapping, expansion scoring, champion programs, expansion pipeline | | Operating Cadences | 5 | Pipeline reviews, forecast calls, QBRs, deal reviews, weekly operating rhythm | | Cross-Functional Handoffs | 10 | Marketing→Sales, Sales→CS, CS→Expansion, escalation paths, SLA definitions, data handoff quality | ### Pillar IV: Systems (28 questions) | Category | Questions | What It Scores | | --------------------------------- | --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | CRM Architecture & Hygiene | 6 | Data model, field discipline, automation rules, duplicate management, reporting integrity | | Tech Stack & Connector Health | 6 | Integration quality, data flow, tool rationalization, connector monitoring, vendor management | | Data Governance & Source of Truth | 5 | Single source of truth, data ownership, quality monitoring, reconciliation, audit trail | | Signal Infrastructure | 6 | Alert configuration, signal routing, severity calibration, recommended actions, signal-to-play automation | | AI & Automation Readiness | 5 | AI tooling, automation coverage, predictive models, AI governance, ROI measurement | ### Pillar V: Metrics (26 questions) | Category | Questions | What It Scores | | ------------------------------ | --------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Pipeline Metrics & Forecasting | 6 | Pipeline coverage, velocity, conversion rates, forecast accuracy, forecast quality KPIs | | Revenue Attribution | 5 | Source attribution, channel ROI, marketing influence, multi-touch modeling, attribution governance | | Retention & Expansion Metrics | 5 | NRR, GRR, churn analysis, expansion rate, customer health distribution | | Executive & Board Reporting | 5 | Board deck quality, metric consistency, narrative intelligence, trend analysis, competitive benchmarking | | Metric Governance | 5 | Metric definitions, calculation consistency, data trust, dashboard governance, leading vs. lagging balance | ##
