Unified Commerce Assessment Framework¶
Purpose¶
The UC-BoK Assessment Framework enables an organisation to:
- Measure current Unified Commerce maturity across 24 capabilities
- Identify priority gaps using strategic importance weighting
- Build a capability-driven investment roadmap
- Track progress over time
How to Use¶
Step 1 — Score Each Capability¶
For each of the 24 capabilities, assign a maturity level (0–4) using the descriptors and assessment questions in the Maturity Model.
| Level | Label | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| ⬜ 0 | Absent | Capability does not exist |
| 🟥 1 | Ad hoc | Single channel, manual, inconsistent |
| 🟧 2 | Fragmented | Multi-system, partial automation, not unified |
| 🟨 3 | Integrated | Cross-channel, automated, consistently applied |
| 🟩 4 | Optimised | Real-time, data-driven, continuously improving |
Step 2 — Calculate Domain Scores¶
Average the capability scores within each domain to produce a domain-level maturity score.
Step 3 — Calculate the UC Maturity Index (UCMI)¶
Weight the capability scores by strategic importance:
| Importance | Weight |
|---|---|
| critical | 3× |
| high | 2× |
| medium | 1× |
| low | 0.5× |
UCMI ranges from 0.0 (not started) to 4.0 (fully optimised).
Step 4 — Identify Priority Gaps¶
Flag capabilities where:
- importance = critical AND current-level < 3
- importance = high AND current-level < 2
These are blocking gaps that should be addressed before other investments.
Step 5 — Build Roadmap¶
Prioritise investments using: impact × gap size

Interpretation Guide¶
| UCMI Range | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| 0.0 – 0.9 | Pre-UC. Channels are fully siloed. |
| 1.0 – 1.9 | UC initiation. Some cross-channel capability started. |
| 2.0 – 2.9 | UC development. Key capabilities fragmented, roadmap in progress. |
| 3.0 – 3.4 | UC integration. Most capabilities unified. Few gaps remain. |
| 3.5 – 4.0 | UC leadership. Real-time, AI-enhanced, continuously improving. |
