# The Public Trust Model for Digital

> A capability and maturity model for public institutions — cities, crown corporations, provinces and government agencies — used to produce a self-administered Public Trust Maturity Scorecard across 40 capabilities in four pillars: Information Practice, Service Modernization, Digital Office, and Digital Platform.

The assessment itself (profile, questions, and results) is per-organization and access-token-gated, so those pages are intentionally not indexed or listed here — see robots.txt.
