An AI readiness assessment built for small teams
Most AI readiness tools give you a score on a five-point scale. Useful for a slide, less useful on Monday morning. This is the opposite: a structured team conversation that surfaces where you stand on AI, how it's governed, how it lands on the people doing the work, and where your real advantage lies, then turns it into a small number of decisions you can act on.
Free. No AI experience required. Roughly 30–45 minutes of solo reflection per person, plus a 60–90 minute team discussion.
Solo, no login. See a worked team example.
What this assessment covers
Three pillars, each one a set of questions your team probably hasn't said out loud yet. Together they form a shared picture, not a score.
Governance & integrity
How AI is governed: the policy you have or don't, the guardrails, the red lines. What's sanctioned, what isn't, and what nobody has decided yet.
People & coexistence
How AI lands on the people doing the work: their roles, what they hope it will take off their plate, and where they quietly draw the line. The objections matter more than the enthusiasm.
Advantage, innovation & assurance
What only your team can do, where AI deepens it, and where it would get in the way. Choosing what to take on, what to leave alone, and how to do it well.
How the assessment works
Four steps. No accounts for your teammates. No consultant required.
Set the team context
Sector, country, team size, the stack you already have. Two minutes, and it grounds the rest of the conversation.
Invite people with a code
Share a six-character join code. Teammates pick a display name and they're in. Works on phones; no sign-up.
Reflect across the three pillars
Each person works through the questions at their own pace, beforehand or live in the room, taking 30–45 minutes. People can speak plainly, including "I don't know".
Settle what's next, together
See the team's shared picture on one screen. Pick a small number of steps to try, each with an owner. Name what you're choosing to leave alone, and why. Export to PDF or Markdown.
What your team walks away with
Not a report. Not a score. The three things a small team needs to move.
A shared picture
Everyone's view of where the team stands on AI, mapped on one screen. The first time most teams have seen it.
A short list of steps
Three to five things to try, each with a named owner. Small enough to happen, and small enough to learn from.
What you'll leave alone
What you've agreed you won't do, and why. Often more useful than the to-do list, and the part most assessments skip.
Why not a maturity model?
Both have their place. Here's the honest difference.
- Scores you on a 1–5 scale across fixed dimensions.
- Designed for benchmarking and board slides.
- Filled in by a few people, often consultants.
- Output: a number and a heatmap.
- Surfaces what your specific team thinks, in their own words.
- Designed to produce decisions, not ratings.
- Filled in by everyone on the team.
- Output: a shared picture and a short list of steps.
