Agentic Maturity Model

The Agentic Maturity Model describes the progression from fixed automation to continuous autonomous goal pursuit.

Level 0 — Static Automation

Execution is predefined and fixed. No dynamic planning occurs. The system follows explicit instructions without adaptation.

Level 1 — Reactive Automation

The system responds to recognized triggers or conditions, but behavior remains bounded to predefined decision paths.

Level 2 — Assisted Planning

The system can suggest plans or next steps, but execution continuity depends on human approval or intervention.

Level 3 — Partial Agency

The system can execute multi-step plans in sequence, yet pauses for human confirmation at key transitions, failures, or ambiguities.

Level 4 — Conditional Agency

The system can complete bounded workflows end-to-end within a constrained domain, but lacks robust rescoping, durable recovery, or generalized adaptive continuation.

Level 5 — Agentic Complete

The system maintains closed-loop goal pursuit across planning, execution, monitoring, adaptation, and completion without human handoffs.

The classification Agentic Complete applies only at Level 5.

Interpretation

The maturity model is intended to separate partial automation from autonomous continuity. Many systems may demonstrate useful planning or action capabilities while remaining below the threshold. Agentic Complete is reserved for systems that preserve agency across the entire execution loop.
