AI Readiness
Self-Assessment
Before you deploy AI, tell the truth about the business. Score the workflows, data, team readiness, risks, and operating gaps that decide whether AI creates leverage or chaos.
Free resource. Built for operators who want clarity before commitment.Most AI projects fail
before the tool is chosen.
The mistake is not ambition. The mistake is deploying intelligence on top of unclear ownership, messy data, disconnected systems, weak governance, and teams that were never brought into the work.
The Self-Assessment gives operators a way to pause, look honestly at the business, and identify what must be cleaned up before AI moves from curiosity into production.
Mess in, mess out — faster than last year.
Score the business
before you ship the work.
This kit turns AI readiness into something visible. It helps leadership document the current state, identify risk, and choose the right next step in the Operator Certification journey.
Leadership clarity
Are the decision makers aligned on why AI belongs in the business and where it does not?
Workflow truth
Which processes are documented, owned, repeated, and painful enough to deserve attention?
Data condition
Where does truth live? Which systems disagree? What manual exports are holding the operation together?
Team adoption
Where is shadow AI already happening, who is excited, and who will resist if the work is forced?
Risk and guardrails
What customer, legal, compliance, brand, or operational risks need boundaries before deployment?
Next-step readiness
Should you deploy Bertha, run a Staff AI Hackathon, prototype carefully, or clean the closet first?
A baseline your team
can actually use.
The output is not a pretty score for a slide. It is a readiness artifact that helps you decide what work comes next.
Readiness score
A practical way to see where the business stands before investing time or money.
Risk map
A simple view of the places AI could create problems if deployed too quickly.
