IAM Maturity Intelligence

5-pillar maturity scoring — gaps, vendor recommendations per gap, and an AI board narrative. Included in every report, free and paid.

Pillar-by-Pillar Vendor Delta

A small total score gap can hide 20+ point divergence across pillars. See exactly where your top vendors diverge — all 9 dimensions side by side.

Implementation Reality Check

Real go-live timelines, SI ecosystem depth, failure rates, and P1 support data — not the estimates vendors put in their decks.

Change-of-Control Protections

IAM consolidation is accelerating. Know which vendors carry exit rights and get model contract language before you sign.

How report credits work

IAM vendor decisions happen every 3–5 years — an annual subscription doesn't match the buying cycle. With per-report pricing, you pay when you need a report and nothing when you don't. IAM Verdict™ reports never expire.

Logic Flaw & Accuracy Guarantee

If you find a logic flaw in our matching, we'll rebuild it manually — at no charge.

Complete the LENS™ assessment and receive your results. If you can demonstrate that our MATCH™ engine failed to factor in one of your explicitly stated requirements (rather than simply not liking the results), email us within 48 hours. A member of our team will audit the matching logic, and if a flaw is verified, we will rebuild your profile manually and deliver a corrected report — free of charge.
