Maturity model

A six-level model for intelligence-native open innovation

Level 0Idea capture

An organization collects suggestions or submissions, but context, evidence, and review history are not durable.

Level 1Structured challenges

Problem statements, submission formats, review criteria, and funding states are defined before contributors engage.

Level 2Evidence-based contributions

Every artifact carries evidence, authorship, review state, ontology tags, and publication boundaries.

Level 3Semantic coordination

Challenges, bounties, contributors, standards, and archives connect through an openly shareable ontology graph.

Level 4Ecosystem intelligence

The system can identify standards gaps, route reviewers, map contributor expertise, and preserve institutional memory.

Level 5Category infrastructure

The runtime and foundation layer define shared terms, governance patterns, evaluation methods, archives, and contribution pathways for the field.
