One of the fun things with SEI Capability Maturity Model is that you reach level 1 just by having your process written down at all, no matter how stupid it sounds.
But the giggle test is just something I borrowed from business, which is, “can I say this with a straight face?” Which eliminates a lot more censorious than you would think. Writing something down is one thing, making eye contact with someone while repeating it is a bit harder.
