Methodology

A transparent way to make AI readiness discussable.

The assessment is a structured, self-reported reflection informed by independent Data and AI transformation experience. It is designed to support an executive conversation—not to act as a peer benchmark, audit, certification, or implementation plan.

Six dimensions · four questions each

01

Strategy and Business Value

Four questions assess whether this condition is absent, emerging, established, or embedded in the work that matters most.

02

Data Foundations

Four questions assess whether this condition is absent, emerging, established, or embedded in the work that matters most.

03

Technology and Delivery

Four questions assess whether this condition is absent, emerging, established, or embedded in the work that matters most.

04

Governance and Responsible AI

Four questions assess whether this condition is absent, emerging, established, or embedded in the work that matters most.

05

Talent and Operating Model

Four questions assess whether this condition is absent, emerging, established, or embedded in the work that matters most.

06

Adoption and Scale

Four questions assess whether this condition is absent, emerging, established, or embedded in the work that matters most.

How scoring works

For every question, you choose one of four observable states: Not in place, Emerging, Established, or Embedded. The choices receive values of 1 through 4. Each dimension score is the average of its four answers, converted to a 0–100 scale. The AI Reality Score is the rounded average of the six dimension scores.

The three immediate priorities are the three lowest-scoring dimensions. Ties are resolved in the displayed dimension order, so the result is deterministic and repeatable for the same responses.

This is a Readiness Profile, not an external benchmark. It does not compare your organisation with a peer group and makes no percentile, ranking, or anonymised-data claim.

Maturity stages

StageScore

Exploring

0–19

AI intent is emerging, with foundational decisions still to be made.

Experimenting

20–39

Pockets of activity exist, but practices are not yet reliable or connected.

Building

40–59

Core capabilities are taking shape and priority delivery can become more repeatable.

Scaling

60–79

The organisation is extending proven practices with clearer operating discipline.

Operating

80–100

AI capability is embedded, measured, and continuously improved in business operations.
