Answer all seven dimensions to unlock your score

This diagnostic is a structured maturity model, not a scorecard of opinion. Its dimensions, ladder, and recommendations are grounded in the frameworks that DFIs, PPP units, and infrastructure investors already use to judge readiness.

How the assessment works

Each of the seven dimensions is rated on a four-level maturity ladder — Nascent, Developing, Established, Advanced — a structure adapted from capability-maturity models and PPP enabling-environment indices. Levels carry 0–3 points; the total is normalised to a 0–100 index and mapped to four readiness tiers (0–39, 40–64, 65–84, 85–100).

On equal weighting. Dimensions are weighted equally by design. This keeps the diagnostic transparent and directional; it deliberately avoids the false precision of a weighted model, which in a live transaction would be tailored to the asset class, market, and deal structure. Read the score as a conversation-opener, not a valuation.

On gating dimensions. Some dimensions act as gates, not contributors. An asset with contested legal title, or a programme with no enabling legislation, is not investable at any headline score. Where a foundational dimension sits at Nascent, address it first regardless of the total — the "priority moves" surface exactly these.

Scope note: this tool assesses readiness to transact. Whether a monetization adds to public debt is a separate question of structure and statistical classification (IMF GFSM / Eurostat ESA 2010) and should be assessed independently — a control-retaining monetization can be reclassified as borrowing.
