What this AI readiness assessment measures
AI and automation succeed or fail on the basics. A business with clear processes, clean data, connected tools, a willing team, and a specific goal can put AI to work quickly. A business missing those pieces usually gets more value from fixing them first. The assessment scores five areas:
- Processes: whether the work is documented and done consistently. You cannot automate a process nobody can describe.
- Data: whether customer and operational data lives in one place and is clean enough to trust.
- Tools and integrations: whether your apps can share information through integrations or APIs.
- People and ownership: whether the team is open to change and someone owns the project.
- Goals and guardrails: whether you know what problem you are solving and how AI may use your data.
How the score works
Each answer is worth 0 to 3 points. Your total is converted to a score out of 100, and each area gets its own percentage so you can see where to focus. The two lowest areas are highlighted with practical next steps.
What to do with your result
Whatever your score, the next step is the same shape: pick one specific, high-volume process, fix whatever blocks it, and automate it end to end. Use the priority scorer to choose the process, and the free Automation 101 and AI at Work 101 courses to build the skills.
Frequently asked questions
What is an AI readiness assessment?
A short evaluation of whether a business has the processes, data, tools, people, and goals in place to adopt AI and automation successfully. It highlights gaps to close before investing, so projects deliver results instead of stalling.
How do I know if my business is ready for AI?
You are ready for a first project if you can name a specific, repetitive process, the data it needs is in a system rather than in people's heads, your tools can connect, and someone has time to own it. You do not need a data science team or a large budget.
What should a small business do first with AI?
Start with one well-defined task where AI reads or writes language inside a workflow you already run: sorting incoming email, drafting replies for review, summarizing calls, or extracting data from documents. Keep a person reviewing anything customer-facing at first.
