The survey measuring actual digital maturity of organizations and informing the Roadmap.

When the final version is released, each participant will be able to confirm their authorization to publish, as well as how they wish to be identified, for example as a reviewer or contributor.

In the interest of transparency, any points of disagreement that remain at the end of the process may be presented in a separate section of the final document.
