Logistics & Operations
Transportation, warehousing, inventory management, and last-mile delivery capability.
Compliance & Governance

Resilience & Risk
Risk identification, business continuity planning, supply chain diversification, and adaptability.
Trade & Growth Readiness

Scoring Model
Each question is scored on a 0–3 scale. Dimension scores are calculated as percentages and weighted to produce an overall readiness score.
Weighting: Each dimension contributes equally (15%) except Digital Capability (10%), reflecting its increasing but not yet foundational importance for most organizations.
Maturity Levels
Your overall score maps to one of five maturity levels, each with a clear description and recommended actions.
