For business and technology leaders

Is your business ready for AI?

Rate 12 statements across six areas. It takes about 3 minutes and you get a score, a readiness level, and your top three gaps with a suggested next step for each.

Rate each statement from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Think about how things are today, not how you hope they will be. There are no right answers, and nothing is sent anywhere while you answer.

Strategy (counts 1.5 times)

Knowing what AI is for, and who is accountable.

1. We have named specific business problems where AI could help, and can say what success would look like for each.

2. A senior leader owns our AI direction and has set aside budget or time to try things.

Data (counts 1.5 times)

Whether the information AI would use is findable and trustworthy.

3. The data our key processes rely on lives in a few known places, and we know who looks after each one.

4. That data is accurate and up to date enough that we would trust a report built on it.

Technology and security

Whether your systems can connect and are protected.

5. Our main systems (for example CRM, accounting, website and support tools) can share data through APIs or exports.

6. Our business data sits in secure services with access controls and backups.

People and skills

Whether your team can use, build and run AI.

7. People in our team already use AI tools at work and share what works.

8. We have, or can quickly get, people who can build, test and run an AI pilot.

Processes and use cases

Whether you know where AI would save time or improve results.

9. We can name repeated tasks that follow clear steps and take many hours each month.

10. We measure how long our key processes take today, so we could tell whether AI improved them.

Governance and risk

Whether there are rules and human checks around AI.

11. We have rules on what staff may and may not put into AI tools.

12. A person reviews AI output before it reaches customers or affects an important decision.

How the assessment works

  1. Rate 12 statements. Each is about how things are in your business today, from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).
  2. We score six areas. Each area gets a score out of 100 from its two statements. Strategy and Data count 1.5 times in the overall score; the other four count once.
  3. You see your result on this page. An overall score, your readiness level, a bar for each area and your top three gaps, each with a suggested next step.
  4. You decide what happens next. Share the result with our team if you would like a practical first project suggested, copy it to send yourself, or simply close the page.

The four levels are Getting started (below 35), Building foundations (35 to 54), Ready to pilot (55 to 74) and Ready to scale (75 and above). They describe where you are, not how you compare with other companies.

The six areas we ask about

Two statements each. Together they cover the questions that most often decide whether an AI project works.

Strategy

Whether you know what AI is for, and who is accountable. Counts 1.5 times.

Data

Whether the information AI would use is findable and trustworthy. Counts 1.5 times.

Technology and security

Whether your systems can connect, and whether your data is protected.

People and skills

Whether your team can use, build and run an AI pilot.

Processes and use cases

Whether you know where AI would save time, and whether you measure it today.

Governance and risk

Whether there are rules for AI tools and a person who checks the output.

What it can and cannot tell you

A short self-assessment is a starting point. It reflects your own view on the day.

  • It reflects your own view. Two people in the same company may answer differently, and the result is only as accurate as the answers.
  • It does not look at your systems, your data or your contracts. A person has to do that.
  • It does not compare you with other companies, because we have no benchmark and do not claim one.
  • The scores are not a promise of savings, revenue or results from AI, and we make no such promise.
  • It does not choose a tool for you. The suggested next steps are about getting ready, not about buying software.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the assessment take?

About three minutes. You rate 12 statements from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree), and the result appears straight away.

What do the scores mean?

Each of the six areas gets a score out of 100, and the overall score combines them. The level (Getting started, Building foundations, Ready to pilot or Ready to scale) describes where you are today. It is not compared with other companies: we have no industry benchmark, and we do not claim one.

Why do Strategy and Data count more?

We give them 1.5 times the weight because they tend to shape how an AI project turns out. The other four areas count once each. This is our judgement, not an industry standard.

Is my information sent anywhere?

Not while you answer. The scoring runs in your browser. Your ratings are kept in your browser tab only so that a refresh does not lose them, and they are cleared when you close the tab. Nothing is sent to us unless you choose to share your results with our team.

What do you do with results I share?

We e-mail them, with the details you give, to our team so we can reply and suggest a practical first project. We do not keep them in a database. Our privacy policy has the details.

Is this the same as your AI readiness audit?

No. The assessment is your own view on the day, in about three minutes. The AI readiness audit is a week of looking at how your business actually runs, and it ends with a written report and a read-out session. The assessment is a good way to decide whether the audit is worth it.

Want a person to go through it with you?

Tell us which processes take the most time, and we will say honestly whether AI is worth trying there. The one-week AI readiness audit looks at how your business actually runs.
