Where does your institution stand today — and what does that mean for your next step?
The inscription carved above the entrance to the Oracle at Delphi was not a prophecy. It was an instruction: γνῶθι σεαυτόν — know thyself. Before consulting the oracle, before seeking guidance, before making any consequential decision — understand where you stand. The same principle applies to digital transformation. The institutions that succeed are not the boldest. They are the most self-aware.

Where does yours stand?
The four archetypes
Cultural institutions do not transform at the same pace or from the same starting point. The Artorythm evaluation identifies four digital maturity archetypes — each with its own strengths, blind spots, and most useful next step. Explore them before taking the evaluation.

Director lens
Your archetype tells you something more useful than a maturity score: it tells you what the realistic next step is. An Analogue Institution and a Digital-First Institution face completely different decisions. The evaluation result is a planning tool, not a judgement.
Team lens
Maturity varies by department within the same institution. The collections team might be at one level while communications is at another. That unevenness is normal — and knowing it exists helps you prioritise where to start.
