Maturity levels

The overall score (0–100 %) maps to one of five named levels.

Level Score range Meaning
WIP 0 – 39 % Foundational practices are not yet in place. Focus on the Required criteria first.
PASSING 40 – 59 % Core required practices are covered. Begin adopting Recommended criteria.
BRONZE 60 – 74 % Good baseline. Recommended practices are partially in place.
SILVER 75 – 89 % Strong DevOps posture. Most practices are in place.
GOLD 90 – 100 % Comprehensive coverage of all practices across every category.

Scoring formula

The score is a weighted percentage:

score = (sum of weights for criteria answered "yes") / (sum of all weights) × 100
  • Required criteria have weight 1.0
  • Recommended criteria have weight 0.5

This means fulfilling all Required criteria alone is not sufficient to reach GOLD — Recommended criteria are needed to push the score higher.

Badge labels

Each level corresponds to a badge label you can add to your README. See Adding a badge for details.
