$4995.00 Available now
Enterprise business capabilities map, Levels 1 to 3: 10 L1, 112 L2 and 865 L3 capabilities, each L3 with an AI profile and KPIs. Level 4 not included.
The Enterprise Business Capabilities Model: AI-Ready Edition describes what an enterprise does as one model: 10 L1, 112 L2 and 865 L3 capabilities, each with its definition. Every Level 3 capability carries an AI profile and its own KPIs, and every Level 2 shows the rollup of its Level 3 capabilities, so you can see across the whole enterprise where AI fits, in what mode, under what human oversight and at what risk, and choose where to start.
Three Levels
The model has three levels: 10 Level 1 domains, 112 Level 2 capability groups and 865 Level 3 capabilities. Level 4 is not included. For the next level of detail in a function, use that function's Capability Model alongside this one, such as Finance, Human Resources, Technology and Governance, Risk and Compliance.
One Model of the Whole Enterprise
The model is designed as one model of the enterprise, not the functional models placed side by side. Work that crosses functions has one home and is defined once. Work that sits above or between functions is part of the model, such as corporate strategy and planning, enterprise portfolio management, public affairs, workplace and real estate, and shared services. AI is part of every domain rather than a domain of its own, and the model is industry-neutral: it describes what enterprises in any industry do. The About This Model document in the package explains the design and why the model has three levels.

- 3,369 KPIs, with AI measures, across the Level 3 capabilities
- Every Level 2 capability with the rollup of its Level 3 profiles
- A prioritization model you re-score with your own ratings and weights

Why Not Just Ask ChatGPT?
A general-purpose assistant will draft an enterprise capability list in a minute, and for orientation that is often enough. This model is for decisions that have to stand up to review: what to automate, under whose oversight, and in what order, across the whole enterprise.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the model include Level 4?
No. The model has three levels, Level 1 to Level 3, and Level 4 is not included. For the next level of detail in a function, use that function's Capability Model alongside this one, such as Finance, Human Resources, Technology and Governance, Risk and Compliance.
How does it relate to the functional capability models?
It is designed as one model of the whole enterprise. Many of its capabilities also appear, often in more detail, in Capstera's functional models, which are written from inside one function. Use this model for the enterprise view and a functional model where you need the full depth of one function.
Is the model specific to an industry?
No. It is industry-neutral: it describes what enterprises in any industry do and leaves out industry-specific core operations, such as lending in a bank or patient care in a hospital.
What happens after 12 months?
Your license to use the files does not end. Any model changes released within 12 months of purchase are free, and MCP access runs for the same 12 months. There is no renewal after that: when a major upgrade is released, past buyers are notified and offered a discount on the new version.
Can I load the content into our own AI tools?
Yes, within the license. The Enterprise license allows internal tools, including your own assistants and agents. Neither license allows training, fine-tuning or prompting AI systems for third parties.
Does the model cover AI laws and regulations?
No, by design. It is business architecture: the capabilities and the AI layer describe what the enterprise does and how AI fits, and they hold whichever laws apply where you operate. The risk tiers and oversight levels are durable practices your compliance team maps to your own jurisdictions.
