Enterprise architecture health is not a vague concept. It is measurable. When a midmarket organisation cannot answer basic questions about its portfolio, the cost shows up in missed strategy execution, slow incident response and duplicated tooling that nobody dares to retire.

Most midmarket organisations lack a shared vocabulary for portfolio health. They know something is wrong before the board meeting, but they cannot name it precisely. The Portfolio Health Index gives that vocabulary: seven dimensions, each scored one to five, each benchmarked against aggregated anonymous data from organisations with one hundred to five thousand employees.

The benchmarks are derived from Spekir's advisory work and Atlas workspace data. They are not research from a global analyst firm. They are observations from organisations that look like yours, facing the same constraints. That is what makes them useful.

Taking the index takes two minutes. Understanding what to do with the result takes a working session. That is the point. A score without a next step is just a number.

The seven dimensions were selected because they predict portfolio outcomes with the highest consistency across organisation size and industry. Application sprawl and capability coverage predict operational risk. Decision traceability and strategy alignment predict execution speed. Technology recency predicts both hiring difficulty and integration cost. Portfolio drift predicts how quickly leadership loses confidence in the data. AI readiness predicts time-to-first-use of any AI initiative.

Each dimension is scored on a five-point Likert scale where one represents no capability and five represents a fully mature, current practice. The midmarket benchmark for each dimension is the median score across organisations with one hundred to five thousand employees observed through Spekir advisory engagements and anonymised Atlas workspace data between 2024 and 2026.

The overall score is a simple average across dimensions, normalised to one hundred. A score below forty indicates that foundational work on inventory and capability mapping is needed before other dimensions can improve meaningfully. Scores between forty and seventy indicate an organisation in active development of its architecture practice. Scores above seventy indicate a mature practice where the focus shifts to drift management and AI readiness.

The Portfolio Health Index is published annually. The 2026 edition covers data from the period 2024 to 2026. The full methodology report is available for download on request.
