AI readiness and governance

Decide whether you are ready to adopt AI, before you buy anything

Ten questions for founders and small teams. It checks the things that actually decide whether an AI tool helps or quietly creates work: a clear problem, an understood process, data you own, people who are accountable, and the ability to stop.

How it works

01
Answer ten questions
One question at a time, each with a short explanation of what a good answer looks like. Move back and forth without losing anything.
02
Score from 10 to 50
Each answer is scored from 1 to 5 across Purpose, Process, Data, People and Control, so you can see where the weight sits.
03
Read your result
Not ready, Pilot carefully, Ready with controls, or Strong foundation, with a plain explanation of what it means for you.
04
Act on three priorities
Your three lowest scores become concrete next actions. Print or export them and work through them in order.

What the five groups cover

Purpose: Clear business problem
Measurable outcome
Costs and benefits reviewed
Process: Current process understood
Data: Data accessible and owned
Sensitive-data rules
People: Accountable business owner
Practical training
Control: Human review points
Safe to pause or retire

Before you start

Answer for the situation as it is today, not as you intend it to be. A low score is useful information: it tells you what to fix first and saves you the cost of a tool that cannot be supervised or retired.

You can save your answers on this device, come back later, and print or export the result for a board pack or team meeting.
