AI Readiness Assessment
Find the AI risks your business is already carrying — and what to fix first.
AI is usually in a business before anyone decides it should be. Tools arrive one person at a time, business information goes into them, and nobody has yet written down who owns it, what may be pasted in, who checks the output, or what happens if a tool changes overnight. This assessment turns that grey area into a clear picture and a plan.
What you get from your answers
Your AI Readiness Score across eight areas
Visibility, data and privacy, security and access, human oversight, governance, staff readiness, business value and continuity — scored from your own answers.
Strongest and weakest areas, with priority gaps
What is already working, what is exposed, and which gaps matter most for a business like yours.
Immediate actions
A short list of the first things worth doing, written as practical steps rather than principles.
A staged 30/60/90-day plan
Your gaps sequenced into a realistic plan, so improvement does not depend on one busy week.
Manager decision guidance
Plain answers to the decisions an owner or manager actually has to make about AI use in the business.
Staff and customer wording
Practical guidance for the team and ready wording you can adapt where AI use touches customers.
A working checklist in your workspace
Your actions tracked in the Business Readiness Workspace, so progress is visible over time.
A printable executive report
The full report in a format you can print or share with a partner, an insurer or your team.
How it works
- 01
Answer questions about how AI is actually used
Tools in use, who uses them, what data goes in, who checks the output, and what happens if a tool disappears. “Not sure” is a valid answer — and a useful finding.
- 02
Your answers are scored deterministically
The same answers always produce the same score. Adoption of AI is never penalised; unmanaged use is what lowers a score.
- 03
You get a plan, not a verdict
Priorities, immediate actions, a 30/60/90-day plan, manager and staff guidance and a printable report inside your workspace.
