AI Readiness Assessment
A six-dimension framework for identifying which of your workflows are ready for AI pilots today — and what needs to be in place before you commit investment to the ones that are not.
AI Readiness Scope
Turn uncertainty into a prioritized executive view.
The Framework
Six dimensions that determine whether AI creates value in a given workflow.
Most AI pilots fail not because the technology does not work, but because the workflow, data, governance, or team was not ready. These six dimensions reveal which readiness gaps are blocking value — before the investment is made.
Workflow clarity
Ready signals
The workflow is documented with defined inputs, a repeatable process, and a verifiable output.
Not-ready signals
The workflow varies by individual, relies on undocumented judgment, or outputs cannot be verified.
Data quality and availability
Ready signals
Core data is centralized or accessible via API, quality standards exist and are enforced.
Not-ready signals
Source-of-truth conflicts between systems, data accuracy varies, no data stewardship function.
Process governance
Ready signals
A named owner exists, exceptions are handled consistently, outcomes are tracked.
Not-ready signals
Multiple partial owners, inconsistent exception handling, outcomes are not measured.
Team readiness
Ready signals
Team understands the change, leadership has communicated the rationale, training plan exists.
Not-ready signals
Team was not involved in scoping, change resistance is high, no enablement plan.
Risk profile
Ready signals
Errors are catchable before downstream consequences, a human review step exists.
Not-ready signals
Errors are difficult to detect, consequences are significant, no human checkpoint.
Measurement baseline
Ready signals
Current workflow performance is measured — cycle time, error rate, cost, or volume.
Not-ready signals
No measurement exists, performance is evaluated qualitatively.
Assessment Output
What you get at the end of the assessment.
The assessment is designed to produce decisions, not a report for a drawer. Every output is connected to a clear next step.
Readiness score
A dimension-by-dimension score for each candidate workflow, showing where the gaps are and which gaps block a pilot.
Use case ranking
Candidate workflows ranked by readiness and business impact — so you know which to pilot first and which to prepare before committing.
Governance framework
A practical accountability model: named owners, exception conditions, audit requirements, and review cadence — before pilots launch.
Pilot roadmap
A 90-day roadmap that sequences the first pilots, defines success metrics, and identifies the preparation work required for phase two.
How it Works
The assessment starts with a strategy call.
The call covers your business context, which workflows you are considering for AI, and the current state of the six readiness dimensions. From there, a focused assessment can be scoped to the workflows with the most strategic potential.
Strategy call
Clarify goals, workflows, and current readiness context
Dimension review
Score each candidate workflow against the six dimensions
Use case prioritization
Rank and sequence pilots by readiness and business impact
Pilot roadmap
Define the 90-day plan with success metrics and governance model
Common Questions
Straight answers about the assessment.
What does the assessment cover?
Six dimensions per workflow: clarity, data quality, governance, team readiness, risk profile, and measurement baseline. The output shows which workflows are ready now, which need preparation, and which should wait.
How long does it take?
Two to four weeks for a focused assessment, depending on the number of workflows and stakeholder availability. The output is an executive report with a 90-day pilot roadmap.
Can this lead into implementation?
Yes. The assessment can stand alone as a decision-making tool, or it can become the foundation for an AI transformation engagement that takes the prioritized pilots through governance design and launch.
