What is inside

What the readiness assessment covers

The asset walks an assessment lead through scoping, evidence collection, individual pre-scoring, calibration, evidence caps, the capacity-to-cash test, the gap register, and the readiness gate. It includes an eight-dimension rubric, a gap register format, and a gate checklist, with a worked synthetic case.

  • Scoring readiness for one specific AI use case, not AI in general
  • Eight dimensions from data and model risk to adoption and measurement
  • Anchored scores with evidence caps
  • Calibration across functions before scores are agreed
  • The capacity-to-cash question every AI case depends on
  • A priced gap register with owners and dates
  • A readiness gate before the business case
