Your next step
Your weakest checkpoint is .
Put your colours, type and spacing into Figma variables, then build the components your top three page templates use.
Connect Claude to your Figma file and have it draft one landing page from your own components.
Connect your store platform to Claude and hand it one catalog job you currently do by hand.
Connect your email platform to Claude and have it draft next week's campaign and one segment.
Write down one weekly workflow step by step, then run it through the tools you have connected.
Every checkpoint is at 4. Keep it there: retake the Score each quarter and use the track checklists to catch drift.
The full gap report, with every checkpoint rated and linked to the matching Path modules, is part of the Path.

| Rating | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | Not started |
| 1 | Partial, ad hoc |
| 2 | In place, not connected to AI |
| 3 | Connected, used sometimes |
| 4 | Connected and part of how work gets done |
Your level
Five checkpoints × 0–4, times five, gives a score from 0 to 100.
| Score | Level | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 0–25 | Grounded | Vendor-dependent; start with the design system |
| 26–50 | Loading | Foundations exist but aren't connected |
| 51–75 | Coiled | Key systems connected; processes still manual |
| 76–95 | Launch-ready | Mostly automated; a few gaps to close |
| 96–100 | Springspot | One operator or a small team can run it all |
