How it works

The assessment scores four pillars we evaluate in every client engagement: strategy (is AI tied to business outcomes?), data (is the raw material usable?), people (will the organization adopt what you build?), and governance (can you run AI safely?). Each answer carries a point value, and your total is normalized to a 0–100 scale.

Your weakest pillar matters more than your average. AI initiatives rarely fail on the strong dimensions — they fail on the neglected one. That is why the recommendations focus on your lowest-scoring pillar first.

Frequently asked questions

What is an AI readiness assessment?

A structured way to measure whether your organization can turn AI investment into results. This one scores four pillars — strategy, data, people, and governance — because weakness in any one of them is the most common reason AI projects stall.

What is a good AI readiness score?

70+ means you are ready to run production AI initiatives now. 40–69 means you can start with a focused pilot while closing specific gaps. Below 40, the highest-ROI move is usually fixing foundations before building — which is faster and cheaper than a failed project.

Do I need perfect data before starting with AI?

No. Most successful pilots start with imperfect data scoped to one workflow. The assessment flags data readiness so you can pick a first project that works with the data you actually have.
