Methodology & notes

Data source

Anonymous responses from SMEs completing the Digital Index survey (10–15 questions).

Scoring

Responses map to maturity levels (Foundation/Core/Advanced). We normalise to 0–100 per pillar and compute an overall score.

Updates

We refresh benchmarks quarterly. Over time, Premium will include filters by company size and sector.

Benchmarks shown are illustrative starter values. As sample sizes grow, these will be replaced by live aggregates.
