The check
Answer honestly. Partly counts.
What the six areas mean
Why these six.
Most AI projects that stall do so for ordinary reasons: no clear goal, data nobody can reach, a process nobody measures, or a team that never adopts the tool. The six areas cover those, and they line up with established frameworks: Cisco’s AI Readiness Index scores companies on strategy, infrastructure, data, governance, talent and culture, and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework is built around governing, mapping, measuring and managing AI risk.
Strategy
A named result to improve, an owner, and a budget.
Data
The information the use needs, digital, reachable and trustworthy.
Processes
A repeatable way of working, with a starting figure to beat.
People
Willing users, and someone with time to lead the change.
Tools
What you already own, and whether your systems connect.
Risk
Rules for data in AI tools, and the regulations that apply.
Questions
Frequently asked
What is an AI readiness assessment?
A check of whether a business has what it needs to get value from AI: clear goals, usable data, measurable processes, willing people, suitable tools, and rules for risk.
How long does it take?
About ten minutes for this self-check.
What happens to my answers?
Nothing. The score is worked out in your browser, and nothing is sent or stored.
What does a low score mean?
Not that you should avoid AI. It shows what to fix first, and that’s often something small, like measuring a process before automating it.
Can you run a fuller assessment with our team?
Yes. We go through the same six areas with your leadership team and turn the answers into one or two uses with a measurable target. You get decisions, not a long report. See AI consulting.
