Combining Elements

True mastery in Markdown comes from the ability to combine multiple formatting elements.

Integrated Example

Digital transformation is not just a trend, it’s a strategic necessity for companies that want to remain competitive in today’s market.

Nevo Advisory has developed a proprietary methodology that combines:

Digital maturity analysis

Technology opportunity identification

Implementation roadmap

Organizational change management

Our process uses advanced analysis tools:

def digital_maturity_score(company_data):
    """
    Calculates the digital maturity index
    """
    weights = {
        'technology': 0.30,
        'processes': 0.25,
        'culture': 0.25,
        'data': 0.20
    }
    
    score = sum(company_data[key] * weights[key] 
                for key in weights)
    return round(score, 2)
