  1. High Capability, High Value, Low Maturity: Projects or products with high capability and value, but low maturity. These projects are usually in the early stages of development and require additional resources to reach maturity (e.g. a new product idea).
  2. High Capability, Low Value, High Maturity: Projects or products with high capability and maturity, but low value. These projects may be well-developed, but lack the potential to generate a return on investment (e.g. an existing product with no demand).
  3. Low Capability, Low Value, High Maturity: Projects or products with low capability and value, but high maturity. These projects are often mature but lack the potential to generate a return on investment (e.g. an existing product with low demand).
  4. Low Capability, High Value, Low Maturity: Projects or products with low capability and maturity, but high value. These projects are usually in the early stages of development, but have the potential to generate a return on investment (e.g. a new product idea with high potential).
