Free · 3 minutes · Built by David Davis, CCIE

Six dimensions. One honest score.

Most AI readiness checklists stop at "do you have a strategy?" This one is built by an IT practitioner for IT teams, so it asks about the things that actually break.

01

Data Readiness

Can AI find, trust, and safely use your data?

02

Security & Privacy

Can you adopt AI without leaking data or opening new attack paths?

03

Infrastructure & Platforms

Do you have the platforms to run, integrate, and pay for AI?

04

Skills & Talent

Does your team have the skills to adopt, secure, and build with AI?

05

Use Cases & Value

Do you know where AI will pay off, and can you prove it?

06

Governance & Operating Model

Are rules, owners, and oversight in place before AI scales?

Questions

Who is this for?

IT leaders at mid-size organizations, roughly 200 to 5,000 employees, who are being asked about AI and want a clear, honest picture of where they stand before they spend money.

How is the score calculated?

Every answer maps to a 0-4 maturity level across six dimensions. The math is fixed and the same for everyone. AI never decides your score. If security or governance scores below 40, your overall rating is capped at Emerging, because you're not ready if you're leaking data.

Is the report written by AI?

AI drafts it from your answers and my framework, so you get it in minutes. I personally review every report and add my own take, which appears on your report page. You get the speed of AI and the judgment of someone who has spent 25+ years in enterprise IT.

How long does it take?

The intake takes about 15 minutes. Your report is ready in under 15 minutes after you submit it.

What happens to my data?

Your answers are used only to write your report. They're never sold or shared, and never used to train AI models. See the privacy page for details.

Can I expense it?

Yes. Checkout issues a proper invoice with your company name and tax ID.
