2. Users can utilize the table of contents on the left-hand side to quickly navigate to the desired question. To do so, simply click on a question from the table of contents to navigate to it.
3. As you select answer options, the system will automatically display the corresponding grade (maturity level). This has been pre-configured for you by our subject matter experts.
