Not only analysts.

A decade-plus of CEO-level operating experience in a global building-materials group. A $100M+ P&L run full-cycle. Operations across seven African countries. The diagnostic is calibrated for emerging-market companies — from SMBs to mid-market — that must execute under real power, capital, and ecosystem constraints.

How it’s built

Six dimensions. 24 questions. A fixed method.

Each dimension groups 4 questions scored 0 to 3. The dimension score is its share of the maximum (0–100). The overall score is the equal-weighted average. Maturity levels follow fixed 20-point bands. D6 is calibrated for the operating realities of emerging markets: power and connectivity, cloud and compute, capital, local ecosystem.
