DimensionScoreConfidenceRationale
Usage and Workflow Maturity3/5Medium confidencePilot workflows exist but ownership and exception handling are inconsistent.
Cost and Model Control2/5Low confidenceModel selection is mostly tool-default and cost review is not tied to quality evidence.
Quality Gates and Evidence3/5Medium confidenceQuality checks exist, but assertion-strength and generated-test review are uneven.
Observability and Auditability2/5Low confidenceTeams can reconstruct some decisions, but failed attempts and model choices are not consistently retained.
Security and Permission Governance3/5Medium confidenceTool approval exists, but permission constraints and data-handling evidence need stronger review.
Human Approval and Accountability3/5Medium confidenceHuman review is expected, but acceptance criteria are not yet consistently explicit.
Delivery Integration and Improvement Loop2/5Low confidenceRetrospectives capture some lessons, but improvement actions are not tracked as a scale control.

Limitations

This assessment is based on questionnaire responses, assessor review, and optional redacted evidence provided by the customer.
