```text
Build a maturity model I can use with clients. Capability: [CAPABILITY TO ASSESS, e.g. client onboarding]. Client type: [CLIENT TYPE, e.g. accounting firms with 10 to 50 staff]. Give me: 1. Four to six dimensions to assess, each one distinct. 2. Five maturity levels, from ad hoc to leading, with a short name for each. 3. A grid that describes what each level looks like for each dimension, in concrete, observable terms. 4. Three diagnostic questions per dimension I can ask in interviews or a survey. 5. A simple scoring guide and how to show the results in one chart. 6. For each level, the single most useful next step to move up one level. Keep the language plain enough for a business owner to score themselves.
```

## Step by step

1. Fill in the capability and the kind of client.
2. Ask it to rewrite the level descriptions in your client's language.
3. Use the diagnostic questions in your interviews or a short survey.
4. Show each client's scores in a simple shaded table in your report.

## What you'll get

A maturity grid with dimensions and five levels, diagnostic questions, a scoring guide, a chart idea and next steps for each level.
