Trust Engineering
Maturity Model.
Measure your organization's ability to build, validate, observe, govern and improve trust — continuously.
Not another compliance checklist. A maturity model for organizations moving from reactive compliance to continuous trust engineering.
TEMM reports two numbers, not one. The average score communicates overall posture. The Governing Score, the lowest of the five dimensions, is the honest number, since an organisation is only as trustworthy as its weakest area, not its best one.
The dimensions of trust maturity.
TEMM measures capability across five dimensions. Each dimension is scored 0–5. The overall TEMM score defines your current maturity level.
How software, infrastructure and controls are designed. Security by construction — not retrofit.
How quality, security and compliance controls are tested. QA is the evidence-generation engine.
How operational signals and evidence are continuously collected, stored and made queryable.
How ownership, accountability and risk decisions are structured, versioned and enforced.
How organizations continuously reduce trust debt — the gap between what is claimed and what can be proven.
From undocumented to adaptive.
No consistent process, evidence, or ownership. Trust is anecdotal.
Teams respond after incidents, audits, or regulatory requests.
Processes exist but evidence collection remains manual and inconsistent.
Controls, ownership, and evidence workflows are connected and mapped to frameworks.
Engineering activity continuously generates trust evidence. Audit-ready every day.
The organization anticipates trust challenges before they surface, identifying emerging risk and declining controls ahead of time.
Where is your organization on the trust maturity curve?
15 questions across five dimensions. ~4 minutes. Get your TEMM score, current maturity level, biggest gap, and the specific path to the next level. Senior-engineer review of your result within 24 hours.
TEMM, explained.
TEMM is StackWeaver's proprietary maturity model that measures an organization's ability to continuously build, validate, observe, govern and improve trust. It scores five dimensions across six maturity levels — from Undocumented (L0) to Adaptive (L5).
A checklist asks "do you have this control?" TEMM asks "how consistently do you generate evidence of this control from the way you build and operate software?" TEMM measures capability, not paperwork.
CTOs, heads of engineering, heads of compliance, and founders of regulated software companies — particularly African fintechs preparing for SOC 2, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, NDPA or CBN AML/CFT.
About four minutes. Fifteen questions across the five dimensions. You get your TEMM score, current level, biggest gap and recommended path immediately.
A senior StackWeaver engineer reviews every submission within 24 hours. If the fit is right, we book a confidential, NDA-bound Trust Readiness Assessment to map the specific path from your current level to the next.
