Scores

Scores are available only in Connected mode.

They provide a quantified view of cloud exit readiness based on risks, dependencies, and the alternative technology landscape.

Use scores to:

  • communicate readiness clearly
  • compare environments over time
  • support prioritization and executive decision-making

Exit Readiness Score

The Exit Readiness Score is a combined score reflecting:

  • identified risks and constraints
  • availability (and, where applicable, maturity) of alternatives

Higher scores generally indicate:

  • fewer blockers
  • more viable alternatives
  • lower portability and lock-in risk

Vendor Lock-in Score

The Vendor Lock-in Score evaluates the alternative landscape across three dimensions:

  • Human — skills availability on the market (or hiring/training effort)
  • Technology — maturity, stability, feature completeness
  • Operational — ecosystem, supportability, third-party services (integrators)

This is often visualized as a radar chart.
