English translation:skill levels of the distributors
Explanation:
Come now! Does it really make sense to speak in English of "maturity" when the context clearly involves ratings with regard to competence?

Suerte!

Actually, "level" would work better than "levels" for either option I've offered.

Explanation:
This seems to have to do with the concept of "time" as well as "competence" in business. "Maturity" certainly doesn't do it for me - in the definitions of "maturity", only number 6 comes even remotely close to fitting here, and it still falls far short, doesn't even make sense in the context of the questionaire. So although my suggestion is vague, "maturity" and "experience" are very similar, and it "experience" makes a whole lot more sense in this context IMO.

Maturity -
1. complete in natural growth or development, as plant and animal forms: a mature rose bush.
2. ripe, as fruit, or fully aged, as cheese or wine.
3. fully developed in body or mind, as a person: a mature woman.
4. pertaining to or characteristic of full development: a mature appearance; fruit with a mature softness.
5. completed, perfected, or elaborated in full by the mind: mature plans.
6. (of an industry, technology, market, etc.) no longer developing or expanding; having little or no potential for further growth or expansion; exhausted or saturated.
7. intended for or restricted to adults, esp. by reason of explicit sexual content or the inclusion of violence or obscene language: mature movies.
8. composed of adults, considered as being less susceptible than minors to explicit sexual content, violence, or obscene language, as of a film or stage performance: for mature audiences only.
9. Finance. having reached the limit of its time; having become payable or due: a mature bond.
10. Medicine/Medical. a. having attained definitive form or function, as by maturation of an epithelium from a basal layer.
b. having attained the end stage of a normal or abnormal biological process: a mature boil.
11. Geology. (of a landscape) exhibiting the stage of maximum topographical diversity, as in the cycle of erosion of a land surface.
