AI Readiness Scan: Mapping AI readiness and execution capability

Shared picture of AI prerequisites — before tools, pilots and transformation.

You receive a rule-based report across strategy, competence, data, processes, governance and value — as a basis for prioritisation meetings, not as certification or audit.

The solution is access-controlled and developed as a portfolio project / closed test environment — not presented as a finished commercial product.

The challenge the project addresses

Many organisations want to adopt AI, but lack a shared picture of the current situation and what should come first. The challenge is to create structure before investing in larger initiatives, pilots or technology.

The project's model and core logic

The assessment starts with context questions, then the main assessment with 18 scored questions across six dimensions, improvement area selection and a rule-based report. The dimensions below describe the main assessment — not selectable improvement areas or the report's eight main sections.

Part 2: Main assessment (18 questions across 6 dimensions)

The assessment consists of 18 questions with exactly 3 questions per dimension. Each question is answered on a scale from 1 to 5, plus a neutral option for “Don't know / Unclear”.

Summary: Total scored questions: 18 · Dimensions: 6 (3 questions per dimension) · Response scale: 1–5 plus “Don't know / Unclear” · Context questions at the start: 5

  1. Strategy and anchoring

    Maps anchoring in strategy and priorities, leadership engagement and ownership, and time, capacity and resources for AI work.

  2. Competence and culture

    Maps basic AI literacy, a culture of experimentation and learning, and structured training and guidelines in everyday work.

  3. Data and technology

    Maps availability and structure of data for AI, data quality and freshness, and overview of systems and integration options.

  4. Processes and use

    Maps identified work processes where AI can create value, actual tool use today, and routines for testing new use cases before broad rollout.

  5. Governance, ethics and security

    Maps guidelines for security, privacy and data, awareness of risks (confidentiality, copyright, misinformation), and human oversight and quality assurance.

  6. Value and benefits

    Maps defined goals for AI, measurement or evaluation of effects from tools and pilots, and perceived real improvement or competitive advantage.

Selectable improvement areas

When the main assessment is complete, the respondent can mark which development areas the organisation wants to prioritise next — up to eleven themes. This is a separate, non-scored layer: it supplements dimension scores with explicit priorities, and should not be confused with the six dimensions or the modules in the results report.

Results report and analysis

The results report consists of eight main sections. Analysis is rule-based and response-driven, with tailored assessments and prioritisation from the answers — not generated by a language model in real time.

What has been built or developed

  • Structured question flow: 5 context questions and 18 scored questions across six dimensions (3 per dimension)
  • Rule-based results report with eight main sections and tailored recommendations
  • Secure login, access codes and admin environment for organisations and assessments

Core modules and functional areas

The solution is built around structured assessment and administrative follow-up of the organisation's AI readiness.

Access and login

Built

The organisation gains access through a unique access code or secure login.

Scored assessment

Built

18 questions across six dimensions, with a 1–5 scale and “Don't know / Unclear” per question.

Improvement area selection

Built

Up to eleven self-selected development areas after the main assessment — without their own score, as a supplement to the dimension assessment.

Results report

Built

Rule-based, response-driven report with eight main sections and tailored assessments — not real-time generative AI analysis.

Administrative follow-up

Built

Responses and reports are collected for an overview of patterns, priorities and dialogue on next steps.

How the solution works

The organisation gains access, the participant completes the assessment, and the result is used for prioritisation and follow-up.

  • The respondent answers context and main assessment questions (18 scored questions across six dimensions), selects relevant improvement areas and receives a rule-based report.
  • The admin environment collects responses and reports as a basis for prioritisation and follow-up — not as formal certification.

Application and relevance

For leaders and organisations

Provides a concrete basis for further AI work, prioritisation and structured follow-up.

Before larger initiatives

Creates structure before the organisation invests in larger initiatives, pilots or technology.

Status, maturity and limitations

AI Readiness Scan is an access-controlled mapping tool · ready for limited customer use. The solution is not a formal certification, but a structured basis for dialogue, prioritisation and follow-up.
