Maturity lever: Your maturity · as of June 24, 2026
Illustrative figures for a fictional company. The method is real; the company is not. Every dollar traces through a measure and a finance line to EBITDA. Benefit is scaled to each use case's current maturity from the survey.

Boise: the lean benchmark
Boise, ID, US
This is the financial close of the Boise Plant worked example. The survey report shows the gap signature; the use-case roadmap turns it into a portfolio. This page scores that portfolio against a financial baseline and rolls it up across the company.
EBITDA against the baseline
Illustrative figures for a fictional company. The method is real; the company is not. Every dollar traces through a measure and a finance line to EBITDA. Benefit is scaled to each use case's current maturity from the survey, so a use case the plant has already mastered captures less from the same improvement. Use the maturity lever above to compare against industry-typical and best-in-class.
Boise: the lean benchmark
Boise is the mature leader, strong and consistent across every department. It carries the fewest gaps and the shortest curated list of the five plants, so its upside is modest relative to its size.
Boise is demand-constrained, with slack against demand, so it earns its value on cost and quality rather than on freeing capacity. That is why a well-run plant still shows a real number, just not the capacity-recovery windfall the constrained plants do.
Things to notice below
- Move the maturity lever and watch the opposite of Waco: because Boise has already banked most of its headroom, its assessed-maturity number sits close to the best-in-class floor. Maturity you have earned is value you can no longer claim.
- Shortest gap list of the five plants. Maturity shows up as less to fix, not nothing.
- Compare Boise to capacity-constrained Topeka to see how much a plant's capacity posture, not just its maturity, drives the dollars.
How the value de-conflicts across initiatives
Run on their own, these initiatives would each claim their full standalone value. Run together against one P&L, they compete for the same finance lines, so the realistic combined value is lower. The engine removes that double counting, then allocates the de-conflicted total back to each initiative pro-rata.
Incremental gains across the remaining well-run areas.
Tighten engineering validation and new-product introduction.
Solid bar = allocated (de-conflicted) value. Faint bar = standalone value.
Investment gate — net of what it costs to deploy
Each initiative needs capabilities to deliver. Those roll up to solution budget lines (an MES, a CMMS…) bought once even when several initiatives share them, plus standalone programs. Cost, deploy lead time, and a 7-year NPV at 8% turn de-conflicted benefit into a net investment case.

Where the value comes from
Each ribbon flows EBITDA impact from a use case (left) to a P&L or balance-sheet section (right). Thickness = annualized dollar contribution. Hover for the exact value.
Finance-line composition
How the annual EBITDA impact decomposes across the P&L and balance-sheet sections. Cost-line reductions and revenue-line gains both read green.
Top value drivers
Use cases ranked by EBITDA contribution across the portfolio. The maturity tag shows the headroom multiplier this use case earned.

All KPI movements
sorted by absolute changeHow KPI deltas are computed
Each KPI's % change is a small-delta linearization across its formula roles: numerator measures contribute +, denominator measures contribute −, factors contribute +. Per-measure deltas sum the contributions of every use case touching that measure (with the portfolio cap already applied). Direction-of-improvement is inferred per KPI from its primary measure: a downward move on a "lower is better" KPI reads green, the same move on a "higher is better" KPI reads red. Compound formulas defined in metrics.formula_expression are linearized — values may overstate. KPI baselines (the from X to Y framing) come in a later release.
This value map was derived from the ExampleCo Boise Plant survey responses and use-case roadmap. The same engine produces a CFO-grade value map for any real company that completes the surveys and curates a portfolio.
