AI Readiness Assessment
This assessment walks through the same 12 questions worth answering before scoping an AI project, grouped into data and processes, sponsorship and organization, and compliance and integration. It scores each dimension from your own answers and points to the weakest one first.
Answer 12 yes/partially/not-yet questions across three dimensions: data and processes, sponsorship and organization, and compliance and integration. The tool scores each dimension and the overall result, and recommends a next step tied to your weakest dimension. It is a conversation aid, not a certification.
At a glance
- 12 questions across three dimensions: data and processes, sponsorship and organization, compliance and integration.
- Scores only what you answer — a partial run never gets penalized as if the rest were 'no'.
- Points to your weakest dimension first, with a concrete next step.
- A conversation aid, not a certification: the result is a starting point for a real conversation, never a guarantee.
Who this is for
This is for anyone weighing whether now is the right time to scope an AI or automation project — before spending time on a vendor search or a detailed business case. It surfaces the prerequisites that most often stall a project after it's already underway, so you can address them earlier instead.
It draws on the same 12 questions in our readiness guide, turned into a scored, interactive form.
How the scoring works
Each question is answered on a three-point scale: not yet, partially, or yes. Your dimension score is the average of the questions you've answered in that dimension; the overall score averages every answered question. Nothing here is weighted or hidden — what you see is the full scoring logic.
- Data and processes — can you access your data, and do you know where time and errors concentrate?
- Sponsorship and organization — is there an empowered sponsor, and will operators actually use the system?
- Compliance and integration — do you know your compliance requirements and integration surface?
How to read your result
An early-stage score doesn't mean AI is the wrong move — it means the groundwork should come before implementation, not during it. A ready score doesn't mean the technology will work; it means the organizational prerequisites are less likely to stall the project.
Is my score saved or sent anywhere?
No. Scoring happens in your browser from your answers; only that you started and completed the assessment is recorded, never your individual answers.
What if I don't know the answer to a question?
Skip it. The score only averages what you've answered, so a partial run is never penalized as if the rest were 'no'.
Does a low score mean we shouldn't pursue AI?
No — it means the prerequisites named in your weakest dimension are worth addressing before, not during, implementation.
Next step
Whatever your result, the fastest way to turn it into a plan is a conversation about your specific operation.
