+                    The <strong>Self-Assessment of Organisational Readiness for Research Tool (SORT)</strong> is a
+                    validated framework designed to help health and care organisations assess their readiness to engage
+                    in research.
+                    Originally developed through extensive consultation and research with nurses, midwives and allied

+                <h2>🧠 What does SORT assess?</h2>
+                <p>SORT covers key domains that influence an organisation’s ability to support and deliver research,
+                    including:</p>
+                <ol type="A">

+                    You can then use the <strong>SORT Maturity Matrix</strong>&mdash;a framework to assess how developed
+                    each area is, from
+                    early-stage awareness to embedded practice&mdash;to understand your current position and plan next
+                    steps.
