About this assessment
What this assessment measures
Most AI readiness conversations happen at the level of ambition — the deck, the vision, the vendor shortlist. This assessment deliberately measures the other thing: what is true in your organization today. Twenty questions, four domains, and every question asks about the present tense, because the gap between ambition and current state is where pilots go to die.
The four domains
- Pilots — what your AI projects have actually shipped, who owns them, and whether anything has survived contact with production.
- Data — whether the data your AI would need is accessible, governed, and in a state a model can use, or twenty years of inventory nobody curated.
- Talent — who can build, evaluate, and operate AI systems in-house, and whether the organization can tell the difference between the three.
- Governance — whether there is an intake, an owner, and a policy that survives contact with a real deadline, or a committee and a slide.
How the score works
Your answers produce a 0–100 score and place you in one of four bands: At Risk, Emerging, Scaling, or Leading. The score is instant and shown without an email address. The band matters more than the number — it names the kind of work in front of you, and the weakest domain tells you where to start. I wrote the questions from patterns I keep seeing inside large enterprises; the essays on this site are the long-form version of the same patterns.
FAQ
Do I need to give an email address?
No. The score, the band, and the domain breakdown appear immediately. There is an optional field afterwards if you want the result emailed to you — that is the only thing the email is used for.
Where do my answers go?
Finished assessments are stored anonymously — answers only, no identity — so I can publish the aggregate patterns. Your progress is also saved in your own browser, so you can leave and resume.
How long does it take?
About ten minutes. Twenty questions, one choice each.
Who is it for?
Anyone honest enough to answer for their organization as it is, not as the strategy deck describes it. It is written from an enterprise perspective — pilots, committees, governance — but nothing in it requires a particular industry.
How is this different from an AI maturity model?
Maturity models describe stages of an idealized journey. This is a diagnostic: it scores present-tense facts and points at the weakest domain. It will not tell you what “level 4” looks like; it will tell you what to fix first.
