The digital transformation of general education is seen as one of the stages of the education renewal process in a rapidly evolving digital environment (EREDE). Practice-oriented models of this process are used to monitor its development and help schools to innovate. To assess the parameters of such models, quantitative estimates are used that help to fix the ongoing changes, but do not give a meaningful assessment of the current state of transformation processes. This prevents the development of automated tools to inform schools about the maturity of the ongoing processes, helping to identify the causes of success and failure, to outline the steps to update their work. An approach is proposed for automating the transformation of quantitative estimates that characterize the maturity of transformation processes into qualitative ones. The experience of using it to construct a methodology for assessing the use of innovative digital-supported (ICT-supported) methods of educational work is discussed. The methodology combines the use of the results of surveys of participants in the educational process and the interpretation of innovative changes provided by prescriptive analysts. The proposed approach can be used for meaningful interpretation of questionnaire data on the use of ICT in educational institutions, collected during monitoring surveys, and for preparing targeted recommendations for school workers on this basis
