Analytics Maturity Self-Assessment Tool

{ "Title": "Analytics Maturity Self-Assessment Tool", "IntroductionHtml": "

Use this short, structured assessment to score your current analytics capabilities across people, process, data, tooling, governance, and value delivery. For each statement, select the option that best describes your current state. Scores typically range from 0 (Not present) to 4 (Optimized). When you submit, your responses are saved so you can review gaps, suggested quick wins, and medium-term investments.

How to use: Be candid but practical. If different teams would answer differently, run this assessment separately for each team or domain. The platform stores your answers; later modules can generate visualizations such as a radar chart and a prioritized gap list.
