Six levels. Six axes. One picture of where you stand.
The model is multi-axis on purpose. Your level matters, but the shape tells you what to work on next: Adoption Breadth, Tool Customization, Build Capability, Automation Depth, AI-First Culture, and Operational Integration.

- 05Strategy is bigger than software. Both matter.
