The Medina et al. (2024) DMM enables assessment of digital maturity of an SME across nine distinct dimensions, encompassing 27 maturity criteria.
“The DMM, which has been meticulously designed for this purpose, enables the assessment of the digital maturity of an SME across nine distinct dimensions, encompassing a total of 27 maturity criteria.”
From Digital transformation: a comparative analysis of SME digital maturity models (2025) · cites this paper as Medina et al. (2024)
Medina et al. (2024) received an actionability score of 66% in the MCDA.
“2024) academic depth but lighter implementation guidance limited it to 66 %.”
From Digital transformation: a comparative analysis of SME digital maturity models (2025) · cites this paper as Medina et al. (2024)
The Development Process (p. 6) describes an action plan, and the Discussion (p. 10) says more specific recommendations are needed. Neither passage reports an MCDA actionability score; searches for “MCDA,” “actionability,” and “66%” found no such score in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
