maturation-pathway-design

name maturation-pathway-design description Design path to readiness using Stage-Gate, Technology Roadmapping, and milestone planning methods. dependencies {"tactics":["multi-dimensional-readiness-scan","staged-gate-evaluation"],"sops":["dimension-assessment","feasibility-synthesis"]} Maturation Pathway Design Purpose: Given a candidate that is not yet ready, design a concrete pathway to bring it to implementation readiness. Uses Stage-Gate processes to define decision points, Technology Roadmapping to sequence development activities, and milestone planning to create actionable checkpoints. When to use: A candidate has potential but is not yet mature enough for implementation Stakeholders need a roadmap showing how and when readiness can be achieved You need to define clear gates and milestones for a maturation effort Budget Metric Target Stage gates defined >= 3 Milestones per stage >= 2 Resource estimates per stage 1 per stage State Ledger Key Type Description candidate object The candidate needing maturation current_readiness object Starting maturity profile target_readiness object Required maturity for implementation stages[] array Defined maturation stages gates[] array Decision gates between stages milestones[] array Checkpoints within stages roadmap object Complete maturation roadmap Available Tactics Tactic When staged-gate-evaluation To define and evaluate gates along the maturation path multi-dimensional-readiness-scan To assess readiness at each stage Available SOPs SOP Purpose gate-criteria-definition Define criteria for each gate gate-judgment Evaluate readiness at each gate dimension-assessment Assess dimension readiness at checkpoints feasibility-synthesis Synthesize pathway into overall feasibility view Execution Guidance Establish current readiness profile (from maturity-diagnosis output) Define target readiness required for implementation Identify the gap between current and target across all dimensions Design stages that progressively close the gap Define gate criteria for transitions between stages Place milestones within each stage as progress indicators Estimate resources and timeline for each stage Identify critical path and dependencies between stages Output Format maturation_pathway: candidate: <name> current_readiness: <overall score> target_readiness: <required score> gap_dimensions: [{ dimension , current , target , gap }] stages: - stage: 1 name: <stage name> objective: <what this stage achieves> milestones: [{ name , criteria , target_date }] resources: { time , cost , personnel } gate: criteria: [ ... ] pass_threshold: <condition> total_timeline: <duration> total_cost: <estimate> critical_path: [ <stage dependencies> ] risk_factors: [{ risk , mitigation , stage_affected }] Available Tactics Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop. Tactic When to use multi-dimensional-readiness-scan Assess readiness across multiple dimensions, synthesize into radar visualization, and identify bottleneck dimensions. staged-gate-evaluation Define gate criteria for each stage, evaluate candidates at each gate, and render go/kill/recycle decisions with evidence. Available SOPs Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop. SOP When to use dimension-assessment Score a single readiness dimension for a candidate with evidence and gap analysis. feasibility-synthesis Synthesize all assessments into a feasibility matrix, recommendation, and risk summary.
