Compliance with SEI CMMI Level 5 probably is expensive. While looking for more data I noted that several Boeing units are at Level 5. And I also found that between 2008 and 2019, about 12% of appraisals given across all industries and countries were at maturity levels 4 and 5, and hundreds are at Level 5 (more than Level 4), according to CMMI Institute: https://cmmiinstitute.com/resource-files/public/cmmi-adoptio...

So it all makes me wonder about the official maturity of Boeing's 737 team, and also how much that rating relates to actual software quality and safety objectives (as apparently achieved in the space shuttle work)....
