What is MOS?

MOS: Maturity of Operations Score is Milltech's proprietary framework that measures the operational maturity of an SMB across 7 critical dimensions. Concrete, observable criteria, not opinions.

OUTPUT 01

Score 1–5

A single number that synthesizes the operational maturity of the business.

OUTPUT 02

Benchmark

Your position versus comparable SMBs in your industry.

OUTPUT 03

Next move

The highest-leverage levers to move first.

It's not a report to read. It's a starting point to decide.

The 7 dimensions.

Each dimension has a weighted score and captures a qualitative score (1–5) plus hard metrics (hours/week, # processes, # people).
01
20% weight

Core Processes

Degree of definition, documentation, and repeatability of critical processes.

02
10% weight

Tech Stack

Tools in actual use, team adoption, redundancies, and gaps.

03
15% weight

Systems Integration

Data flowing automatically vs. data copied by hand.

04
20% weight

Automation

Percentage of repetitive tasks resolved by the system vs. by hand.

05
15% weight

People Dependency

Concentration of critical knowledge in individuals. What happens if someone leaves.

06
10% weight

Visibility & Metrics

Actual ability to know how the business is operating now, not last month.

07
10% weight

Change Capacity

Speed at which the company can adopt a new process or tool. The dimension that best predicts the ROI of any improvement.

The scale.
Five levels.

2.4 AVERAGE ARGENTINE SMBs n = 37
1
Chaotic
No defined process. Done differently each time. Depends on who's there.
2
Reactive
Informal process ("that's how we do it") but undocumented. Breaks when someone is out.
3
Defined
Documented, followed almost always, with a clear owner. But manual.
4
Managed
Documented, measured, and partially automated. Metrics and reviews exist.
5
Optimized
Automated where it makes sense, continuously measured, scales without hiring.
