The Diagnostic does not measure abstract maturity. It measures your function's position on this specific model — a band, a set of lens scores, and a defensible position to take to a board, a regulator, or a vendor conversation.

Why does it matter

Unmeasured maturity is decisions made against the wrong baseline.

Every legal function makes decisions — about vendors, governance, AI policy, board reporting — against an implicit baseline: what it thinks its current state is. That baseline is almost always wrong. Functions over-estimate adoption and under-estimate their defensibility gap. And wrong baselines compound:

A vendor selected for capability the function will never use.
A governance framework that fails the regulatory test the function did not realise it faced.
A board conversation that cannot answer the only question that matters: how do you know?

The Diagnostic exists to give functions a defensible answer — at the depth their situation requires.

Which diagnostic is right for me

Choose by what the result needs to do.

Each tier is canonical at its depth — none is a watered-down version of the next. They differ in lens coverage and instrument depth. Choose by what you need the result to do.

5 MINUTES · 20 QUESTIONS · NO COST

Free Baseline

The fastest way to place your function on the Maturity Stack. Covers the Adoption and Sophistication lenses — enough to locate your band, name your immediate gaps, and decide whether deeper assessment is warranted.

Best for

General Counsel and Heads of Legal Operations running first-pass orientation — when you need a credible band number to ground a conversation.

What you'll receive

Maturity Band placement (Bands 1–4)
Pillar-level gap snapshot across 8 pillars
OS Score across 2 of 4 lenses
Indicative peer band positioning

Band 5 (Defensible) requires evidence attestation and is the result of the Executive Diagnostic. The Free Baseline places functions at Bands 1–4.
