Not sure where to start with digital transformation?

Most SMEs know they need to transform, but don’t know where they stand today. The Verathis Digital Maturity Assessment gives you a structured, honest view of your current digital maturity across the three dimensions that matter most in manufacturing: Process, Automation, and People.

Who it is for

Designed for manufacturing SMEs and food and beverage manufacturers. If you lead operations, production, or business direction in a manufacturing environment and want an honest picture of where you stand before committing to any transformation path, this assessment is built for you.

The framework is built from more than 100 assessments across 13 industry sectors in Singapore and Saudi Arabia, carried out on site, with the people who run the operation.

Why assess before you transform?

Most digital transformation efforts fail not because of the technology, but because organisations underestimate where they actually are before they start. Buying the wrong tools for the wrong problems at the wrong time is expensive. Assessment first prevents that.

Why I built Verathis

I started carrying out SIRI assessments in 2018 and had completed more than 70 by 2020, when I became one of the first Certified SIRI Assessors. From 2022 to 2023 I also trained and examined new SIRI assessors. Today my total is more than 100 assessments across 13 industry sectors in Singapore and Saudi Arabia. The same pattern kept coming up: companies buying automation that their processes and people were not ready for. Verathis is my own framework, built to be the assessment I wanted to hand them: 47 questions in plain operational language, scored across Process, Automation and People, with a debrief that tells you where to start.

How it is scored

Scoring is weighted across the three dimensions based on your organisation’s strategic priorities, giving you a result that reflects where you are actually trying to go, not just where you currently stand.

What you get

Every engagement produces outputs you can act on immediately and share with your leadership team. The slide deck is included in the Complete tier.

01

Maturity Score

An overall score across 5 maturity levels, plus individual scores for all 9 sub-categories, so you know exactly which areas are holding you back.

02

Personalised Report

A detailed report with narrative analysis, benchmark context, and prioritised recommendations written for your company's specific situation.

03

Executive Slide Deck

Complete tier. A presentation-ready deck summarising your findings and roadmap forward, designed to share with leadership or board stakeholders.

04

Debrief Session

A 1-on-1 walkthrough with me to discuss your scores, clarify findings, and agree on the most impactful next steps for your factory.

Your score is the starting point

Most clients leave the debrief with a clear picture of where their factory stands. Depending on your gaps, there are three ways we can work together after Verathis.

Roadmap Workshop

A structured session to translate your Verathis scores into a prioritised transformation plan, with a sequenced initiative list and a change management approach your team can actually follow.

AI Agent Automation

If your assessment surfaces repetitive, manual workflows — production reporting, order processing, quality tracking — I can build AI agents to automate them, or train your team to build their own.

Implementation Advisory

Ongoing consulting support as you execute your transformation roadmap, covering change management, vendor evaluation, team capability building, and progress governance.

Both tiers include the full 47-question assessment, a personalised report, and a 1-on-1 debrief. The Complete tier adds an executive slide deck and custom scoring configuration.

A single ERP, MES or automation project for an SME typically runs S$50,000 to S$200,000, and Bain found 88% of business transformations fail to achieve their original ambitions. Verathis starts at S$2,000.

Book a discovery call

Your report and scores are confidential, never shared with any vendor, third party, or government body. If the debrief doesn't give you clarity, we'll work through it until it does.

Before you book

Questions people ask before the call

If yours isn’t here, bring it to the discovery call. That is what it is for.

No. The fee covers the assessment, your report, and the debrief. That is the whole engagement. If you decide afterwards that you want help putting the roadmap into practice, that is a separate conversation you choose to start, on your terms. Plenty of clients take their report and run with it themselves. If you would rather talk it through before committing, that is what the discovery call is for.

The report gives you a prioritised list of gaps, so the most common use is deciding what to fix first and what to leave alone for now. Clients have used it to hold off on an automation purchase they were not ready for, to build the business case for a specific investment, and to take a clear, evidenced picture to their board or their bank. The point is to make sure the next dollar goes on the right problem.

A personalised maturity report with your scores across Process, Automation, and People, each with prioritised recommendations, and a one-to-one debrief where we work through the findings together. The Complete tier adds an executive slide deck for your leadership or board and custom weighting so the scoring reflects your priorities. You leave the debrief knowing where you stand and what to do first.

Free tools give you a score. They rarely tell you what to do with it, and the questions are usually generic enough that a factory team reads them differently every time. Verathis is built from more than a hundred assessments across 13 industry sectors, the questions are written in plain operational language, and it ends with a live debrief where I walk you through what your scores mean and where to start. You are paying for the interpretation, not the questionnaire.

Both tiers include the full 47-question assessment, a personalised report, and a 1-on-1 debrief. Complete adds an executive-ready PowerPoint slide deck for sharing with leadership or your board, plus custom dimension weighting so the scoring reflects your specific strategic priorities, not a generic default. Complete reports also get priority turnaround: I review and release them first. If you are not sure which fits, raise it on the discovery call and we will work it out.

Only you and me. Your responses, scores, and report are confidential, and are never shared with a vendor, a third party, a competitor, or a government body. Your data is stored securely, is accessible only to you and me, and is never used for benchmarking or research without your explicit consent.

Then we talk about it. The score is the starting point for the debrief, not a verdict. If your result does not match how you see your operation, that gap is usually the most useful part of the conversation, and it often points to something worth looking at more closely.

The call is 30 minutes. We talk through where your operation is, what you are trying to decide, and whether the assessment is the right fit. No preparation and no documents needed. If it is a fit, you receive an access code and complete the assessment in your own time.

Usually one to two weeks end to end. The discovery call is 30 minutes. The assessment itself takes most clients 30 to 40 minutes, or longer if you run it as a working session with your team. The report is generated on submission, and the debrief is normally scheduled within three to five business days after that.

Yes, exactly 47. Each question is anchored to observable behaviours at each maturity level, so they are specific and direct, not vague or generic. Most clients finish in 30 to 40 minutes, though some work through them with their operations team over a longer session for richer answers.

Yes, and many do. Some clients answer solo, others use it as a working session with their operations team, which tends to produce more accurate answers. One person submits the final responses, but there is real value in having your key people in the room.

Level 1 is when it is most useful. Knowing exactly where your gaps are at the start stops you buying solutions built for a Level 3 or 4 organisation before you can use them. You get a grounded starting point instead of guesswork.

Yes. Geography does not change the assessment. The 47 questions, the scoring, and the deliverables are the same wherever you operate. The discovery call and debrief are both done remotely.
