The relevance of the topic under consideration lies in the complexity of visualizing multifactorial values. The aim of the study is to develop a method for graphical representation of scoring indices. The authors analyzed the existing ways of presenting scoring indices and developed a solution in which it is proposed to group the factors that affect the value of the index by creating data vectors that form a square matrix. Moreover, the authors proposed tо determine an enterprise innovativeness index, which takes into account the factor of intellectual property. The development has an applied focus and is intended for use in information and analytical systems.
