AI Readiness Self‑Assessment

Interactive audit to evaluate data quality, integration readiness, governance, vendor readiness, and measurable pilot success criteria. Produces structured responses you can save, compare across locations, and use to prioritize safe, practical AI pilots.

AI Readiness Self‑Assessment

Use this short structured audit to identify where AI can help first, what data or governance gaps must be closed, and which pilot ideas are most likely to succeed. Score each area honestly — scales are 1 (low readiness) to 5 (high readiness). Saved responses become a trackable snapshot you can compare across locations, teams, or time.

Estimated time: 8–12 minutes.

Name the location, team, or business unit this assessment describes.
Who is completing this assessment? Use a name or role.
YYYY-MM-DD or free text.
Check all that apply. These help identify immediate AI use opportunities.
Optional. Describe any additional systems or data sources.
1 = poor (many gaps/inconsistencies), 5 = excellent (reliable and well documented)
1.0 10.0
Unique IDs (e.g., product codes, location IDs, employee IDs) make integration and joining data much easier.
Can your data be extracted or accessed reliably for analysis or model training?
1.0 10.0
How fresh is the data for use in pilots?
Select the use cases that matter most to you. They help prioritize which pilots to run first.
Describe one or two pilot ideas and the expected benefit (time saved, waste reduced, revenue uplift, risk reduction).
1 = no clear owners or policies, 5 = clear owners, documented policies, and signoff process for pilots
1.0 10.0
Consider access controls, encryption, PII handling, and regulatory needs.
1.0 10.0
How ready are you to evaluate and onboard an AI or data vendor safely?
1.0 10.0
List items you want vendors to demonstrate (data access, explainability, security, support, pilot success metrics).
Name 2–4 measurable indicators you would use to judge pilot success (e.g., weekly food waste kg reduced, forecast accuracy %, time saved per shift).
Helps determine scope and safety controls for initial pilots.
Based on the answers above, give an overall readiness score (1–5). Use this to decide whether to pilot, remediate gaps first, or run a small experiment.
1.0 10.0
Be brief. Example: 'No unique product IDs; daily-only sales exports; no documented SLA with delivery partner.'
List 2–4 practical next actions, estimated effort, and who should own them.
Select 'Yes' to save this assessment to your organization's knowledge and improvement records.
