Description

“Proof points” seems slightly unclear to me. Not sure why but ‘Points of evidence’ or even just ‘Evidence’ might be more appropriate.

As I read more it seems to me that ‘proof points’ are more about areas of impact on accessible outcomes or areas of measurement. ‘Proof point’ just doesn’t seem to capture this.

Thinking on this more a structure might be Dimension > Checkpoint > Evidence - checkpoint seems to my mind to capture more of what that part of the structure is.

Research direction

Locate the maturity-model content that defines “Proof points” and read the surrounding terminology and structure. Check whether “Points of evidence,” “Evidence,” or “Checkpoint” best matches the model’s existing hierarchy; done means the terminology is updated consistently wherever this concept appears and the wording is unambiguous.
