What an AI readiness check measures

AI maturity is not a question of which tools are in use. An organisation where everyone keeps a language model open in the browser can be less mature than one with a single properly embedded use case — because in the first case nobody knows which data leaves the building, and nobody can say whether the work actually got faster.

So the check does not measure how much AI is in use, but whether the conditions are in place for that use to hold. It asks 18 questions and weights the answers across five dimensions.

The five dimensions

AI strategy (25%)
Is there a stated purpose — or does adoption follow whatever is currently available? Without a strategy you get isolated solutions that nobody maintains.
Data & infrastructure (25%)
Is the data findable, current, and are you allowed to use it at all? In practice this is the dimension that stalls things most often.
Team & competence (20%)
Can people judge the output rather than adopt it? This is also the dimension that Article 4 of the EU AI Act makes mandatory.
Processes & integration (15%)
Does AI run inside the workflow or alongside it? A tool you have to open separately stops being opened after a few weeks.
Governance & ethics (15%)
Is it settled who decides, what gets documented, and who is liable when an output is wrong?

Frequently asked questions

What does the AI readiness check cost?

Nothing. It runs in the browser and the result appears directly on screen. Name and email address are asked for so the result is also available by email.

How long does it take?

About ten minutes for 18 questions. The answer options are anchored in behaviour — so it is not about how important a topic is considered, but about what actually happens.

What is the assessment based on?

The McKinsey Global AI Survey (2023) and the AI readiness framework from MIT CISR (Weill & Woerner, 2022). Both describe maturity across several dimensions rather than a single figure — which is why there are five individual scores alongside the overall one.

Does the check satisfy the AI literacy obligation under the EU AI Act?

No. Article 4 obliges providers and deployers to ensure a sufficient level of AI literacy among the people operating such systems on their behalf — a self-assessment does not evidence competence. It shows where the gap is widest. What the obligation actually requires is covered in the article on the EU AI Act.

What do I do with the result?

Look at the weakest dimension first, not the overall score. A low data score cannot be fixed by training, and a low competence score cannot be fixed by another tool. The evaluation names a next step for each dimension.
