Foundation
No standards, no platform team, no process
- Every team provisions infrastructure their own way. There's no shared standard and nobody enforcing one.
- Deployments depend on one person who knows the magic steps. When they're on holiday, things don't ship.

Emerging
A platform team exists, but nobody's happy about it
- A platform team exists, but developers still open a ticket for almost everything.
- CI/CD pipelines exist, one per team, all different, none of them shared.

Scaling
The platform works. Barely. And it's starting to crack.
- The platform works for the first five teams. Onboarding the sixth is when the cracks show.
- Teams interpret the golden paths differently. Drift is growing and nobody's tracking it.
Level 04

Product
Platform as a product. Full self-serve. Genuinely.
- Developers don't think about infrastructure. It just works.
- The platform team has a public roadmap, runs real sprints, and treats developers as customers.
