Understanding the Maturity Analysis
Maturity Analysis
Early Preview — Maturity Analysis is an advanced intelligence tool currently in early access. Features may change based on user feedback.
Maturity Analysis gives you a real-time view of how capable your organisation is of executing data and AI initiatives. It draws on your driver scores — across Governance, Architecture, and People — to produce an overall maturity score on a 1–10 scale, surface category breakdowns, flag at-risk drivers, and show individual driver positions on an interactive staircase.
There are two surfaces: a live desktop tile that rotates through key insights on the desktop, and a full window that opens from the tile and provides a detailed interactive visualisation.
Desktop Tile
The Feasibility & Maturity tile appears on the Vane Loop desktop and automatically cycles through a series of data-driven views every 5 seconds. Dot indicators at the bottom of the tile show which view is currently displayed and let you jump to any view directly. Hovering over the tile pauses the rotation.
Each view has a contextual action button at the bottom that opens the full Maturity Analysis window, with the label changing depending on what the view is showing (for example, "Review Critical Risks" or "Complete Assessment").
Views
The tile displays up to seven rotating views, depending on your data:
1. Overall Score
Always shown first. A semicircular arc gauge displays your overall maturity score (e.g., 6.3). Below the gauge, a coloured pill shows your maturity band (see Maturity Bands). A short contextual sentence provides a one-line interpretation.

2. Risk Alert (conditional)
Shown only when one or more drivers carry a High or Critical risk score. Risk is calculated as (10 − impact) × weight, meaning low-impact drivers with high weights surface as the biggest risks. Up to three flagged drivers are listed with a coloured severity dot and their category.
3. Category Breakdown
Always shown. A horizontal bar for each of the three categories (Governance, Architecture, People) displays the category score alongside its maturity band label. The lowest-scoring category is marked with a small ▲ lowest indicator. An overall summary line appears below the bars.
4. Weakest Link
Always shown. Focuses in on the single lowest-scoring category — its score, a progress bar, how far it sits below the overall score, and the three individual drivers within it that have the lowest impact scores.
5. Score Composition
Always shown. A stacked colour bar shows the weighted contribution of each category to the overall score. Below it, each category's calculation is shown explicitly: score × weight% = contribution. This is useful for understanding which category has the most leverage on the overall number.
6. Assessment Coverage (conditional)
Shown when driver scoring state data is available. A stacked bar divides your total drivers into three groups: Up-to-date, Outdated, and Unscored, each with a count and percentage. A note at the bottom references the date of the last True-up if one has been performed.
7. Completion Nudge (conditional)
Shown when any drivers have not yet been scored. A progress bar shows how many of your total drivers have been scored, and up to four unscored driver names are listed by name. If more than four remain, a count for the remainder is shown.
Full Maturity Analysis Window
Click any action button on the tile to open the full Maturity Analysis window (870 × 560, resizable).

Module Toggle
A Data / AI toggle in the top bar switches between your Data portfolio maturity and your AI portfolio maturity. Each module maintains its own separate score and driver set.
Top Bar
The top bar shows three elements:
- Overall score — the weighted composite score for the active module (e.g., "Overall Maturity: 6.3")
- Category toggle — three buttons (Governance / Architecture / People) that filter the staircase to drill into a single category
- SWOT button — opens a SWOT Analysis overlay derived from your maturity data
Staircase Visualisation
The central visualisation is a rising staircase of 10 steps, each representing a maturity level. Steps increase in height from left (level 1) to right (level 10). Steps are coloured and grouped into four maturity bands:
| Steps | Band |
|---|---|
| 1 – 2 | Under Performing |
| 3 – 5 | Average |
| 6 – 8 | High |
| 9 – 10 | Over Performing |
The step at your current overall level is highlighted; steps below it are filled in, steps above are empty.
Category Indicators
Above the staircase, floating pills represent each of the three categories (Governance, Architecture, People). Each pill shows the category icon and its score, and is positioned horizontally at the score's location on the 1–10 axis. Bezier curve arrows flow down from each pill to the step it corresponds to.
Click any category pill to drill down into that category. The other two category pills fade out, and the selected category's individual drivers appear on the steps.
Driver Drill-Down
When a category is selected, individual driver pills appear on the steps at the position matching each driver's impact score. Up to five drivers are shown; if a category has more, a +N more pill appears. Click any driver pill to open a Driver Overlay with full detail for that driver.
Click elsewhere on the staircase to return to the overview state with all three categories visible.
Maturity Bands
Scores are interpreted as follows across all Maturity Analysis surfaces:
| Score range | Band | Colour |
|---|---|---|
| 0.0 – 2.9 | Under Performing | Red |
| 3.0 – 5.9 | Average | Yellow |
| 6.0 – 8.9 | High | Green |
| 9.0 – 10.0 | Over Performing | Blue |
Account Tier Notes
- Freemium and Starter accounts use questionnaire-based maturity scoring. Driver weights are not shown in tooltips.
- Pro and Team accounts use driver-based maturity scoring with full weight and impact visibility.
- The Maturity Analysis window requires at minimum a Starter account. Free accounts will see a tier-locked message.
