Suite is the leader view. Dimension heatmap, score timeline, cluster analysis, and cross-product reads in one place. Available to Lead role and above.

Track your product portfolio

As a leader, you want to read maturity patterns across your entire portfolio so you can put resources on the right teams, surface systemic gaps, and trace whether your investments are paying off.

Portfolio overview

The Suite page (Lead role and above) carries cross-product analytics that surface patterns you can’t see from individual product scores alone.

What portfolio analytics surface

Dimension heatmap

All 27 dimensions across all products in one view. Spot systemic strengths (green columns) and systemic weaknesses (red columns) instantly.

Score timeline

Track your portfolio average month over month. See whether team investments are moving the read.

Cluster analysis

Dimensions grouped into Foundation, Market Position, Execution Engine, and Outlier categories. Compare cluster health across products.

Cross-product reads

Surfaced observations about how your products compare and where collective investment would have the highest impact.

Set up your portfolio

1

Create products from the dashboard

Open your dashboard and hit Add Product. Each product needs a URL and display name. Products are shared across all team members in your org.
2

Score each product

Run an initial score for every product in your portfolio. This sets your baseline.
3

Open the Suite page

Hit Suite in the main nav. The portfolio view populates automatically once you have 2 or more scored products.
4

Read composite analytics

The suite page surfaces your portfolio average, dimension heatmap, and cross-product reads.

Reading the dimension heatmap

The heatmap is the most powerful view for leaders. Each row is a product, each column is a dimension. Colors map to score.
  • Green (3-4): strong in this dimension. Look for patterns to replicate.
  • Amber (2): developing. Targeted investment shows results.
  • Red (1): gap. If the whole column is red, it’s a systemic org weakness.

What to look for

PatternReadMove
Full red columnEvery product is weak in this dimension. Org-level gap, not a team problem.Invest in org-wide capability (training, tooling, process).
One red cell in a green columnOne product lags the portfolio norm.Investigate what’s different about that team or product.
Strong left columns, weak right columnsStrategy and Design are strong but Ops and Intelligence lag.Your teams plan well but struggle with feedback loops and optimization.
All scores clustered at 2Consistently at Building stage with no breakout products.Pick one product to push to Scaling as a proof case.

Suite intelligence

Suite Intelligence goes past the heatmap with surfaced analysis:
  • Systemic patterns: dimensions consistently strong or weak across your entire portfolio
  • Score deltas: move or regression per product between scoring runs
  • Correlation read: dimensions that move together (data flywheel and feedback loop quality, for example)
  • Investment recommendations: where collective investment across teams would have the highest portfolio-wide impact

Portfolio practice

Re-score products monthly to track trajectory. Consistency in scoring cadence matters more than frequency.
Run a baseline score before major investments. Re-score after to measure the move. This creates receipts for future resource allocation calls.
Share the dimension heatmap in quarterly reviews. It gives the conversation a defensible foundation.
Adapter signal (GitHub, Linear, PostHog) tightens scoring accuracy. Get all teams to connect their tools.
Portfolio views need Lead role or above. If you can’t see the Suite page, ask your admin to bump your role from Settings > Members.
