Required capability areas per level follow Table 2 (p. 85). Scoring rules are on p. 87.

How to read it: to be positioned at a level, the unit needs every capability area required at that level and below, and each of those must meet that level’s maturity indicators (Section 4.14, p. 84). The book doesn’t state this as one rule. It is the reading that fits both Section 4.14 and Table 2.
