Accessibility Maturity Models
summary
Maturity models give a measurable baseline across pillars like procurement, training and tools and produce a scored roadmap (levels 1–5) so organizations can see exactly what to fund and which processes to standardize. Most assessed groups sit at levels 1–2, a defined stage 3 is achievable, and level 5 is rare; one university found 80% of procurements reference accessibility standards. External expert scoring and department‑to‑enterprise rolls ups drive investment and scale successful pockets of work.
