AI Readiness Assessment — Measure Your AI Maturity for Free
Most AI initiatives fail not because of technology but because of missing maturity in data, skills, governance and strategy. Without an honest baseline you invest in use cases your organization is not ready for.
Quick scan: 16 questions, no sign-up
Rate 16 statements on a scale from 1 to 5. The result appears right here in your browser; your answers are not sent to a server.
Are core data assets structured and uniformly modeled?
Is our data actually AI-ready?
Data is the most heavily weighted dimension (25%) because almost every AI initiative depends on it. AI-ready means the relevant data can be found, accessed through documented interfaces, has known quality and clear ownership. The three data questions in the quick scan show whether you are there or whether this is your biggest lever.
At a glance
- A maturity score across 6 dimensions (data, skills, governance, technology, strategy, culture)
- Your archetype — Starter, Scaler or Transformer — as the basis for all further recommendations
- Concrete recommendations for your three weakest dimensions instead of generic advice
- A solid baseline that canvas, scoring and roadmap build on automatically
What you get, specifically
In the quick scan result
- Your archetype (AI Starter, AI Scaler or AI Transformer) with a short note on what matters now
- An overall score on a scale up to 5 and a maturity level from Level 1 (Initial) to Level 5 (Optimizing)
- A radar chart with the result per dimension
- Your biggest lever: the weakest dimension with its score and a recommendation
- Your answers stay in the browser until you import the result after signing up
- In the imported result (free account): recommendations for your three weakest dimensions
In the PDF report (Pro)
- Radar and bars for all six dimensions, each on a scale from 0 to 100
- Prioritized action areas for your three weakest dimensions, each with a concrete measure
- Method details: number of criteria, scale and date of the assessment
- Based on either the quick scan or the 42-question deep assessment
Who it is for
For organizations that want an honest picture of where they stand on data, skills, governance, technology, strategy and culture before their next AI investment — whether they have no production use case yet or first applications that need to scale. The result serves as the baseline for all other tools.

Does this replace consulting?
No. The assessment provides a structured baseline for internal decisions — not legal or management consulting.
