Maturity Framework:
We will analyze programs with indicators such as:
The stage of operations
Team size
Mode and process of decision-making
Grant program evolution in regards to grant size
Process sophistication 
Speed of changes and implementation
Grantees
Success stories (grantees growing to develop grants programs of their own, for e.g.)
Non-financial systems of support for grantees. 
Comparison of different indicators against time frames each grant program has been in existence. 
This along with other metrics of comparison will help determine the maturity framework.
Resources needed to run the program 
Accessibility and playbooks for programs
The goal is to develop criteria for assessing grant program maturity using comparable data and developing a formula for assessment, to make calculation easier.
We will test the formula with a scoring system, to better understand how this fits into a wider framework.
