For IT leaders at mid-size organizations
Is your IT team ready for AI?
Take the free 10-question AI Readiness Score. In three minutes you'll know where you stand across data, security, infrastructure, skills, use cases, and governance, and where you're exposed.
Free · 3 minutes · Built by David Davis
Your team isn't behind. It's unmeasured.
AI is already in your building — the only question is whether it's measured and governed.
Shadow AI is the default
Employees are already pasting work data into personal AI accounts. Without an approved path, usage grows exactly where you can't see it.
Pilots stall without foundations
Most AI pilots die from overshared data, unclear owners, and no baseline to prove value — not from bad models.
Leadership wants a number
“Are we ready for AI?” deserves a score, a ranked risk list, and a funded plan — not a shrug and a vendor demo.
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.
Data Readiness
Can AI find, trust, and safely use your data?
Security & Privacy
Can you adopt AI without leaking data or opening new attack paths?
Infrastructure & Platforms
Do you have the platforms to run, integrate, and pay for AI?
Skills & Talent
Does your team have the skills to adopt, secure, and build with AI?
Use Cases & Value
Do you know where AI will pay off, and can you prove it?
Governance & Operating Model
Are rules, owners, and oversight in place before AI scales?

The 90-day plan
Unlike most assessment products, the complete deliverable is public — flip through all 38 pages or download the sample PDF before spending a dollar.
Three ways to answer "are we ready?"
Option 1
Consulting engagement
A readiness assessment from a firm is thorough — and typically five figures, over a month of meetings, and delivered by whoever was available, not the name on the proposal.
Option 2
This report
The diagnostic layer of that engagement: 24 scored questions, a deterministic score, ranked risks, and a funded 90-day plan — $497, delivered within 48 hours, reviewed personally by David Davis.
Option 3
Do nothing
Free today. Meanwhile shadow AI use compounds weekly, and every SaaS renewal switches on AI features nobody has vetted.
A $497 report is cheap next to another quarter of unmeasured AI adoption.

Who's behind this
David Davis
25+ years in enterprise IT across virtualization, cloud, and networking, now focused on AI. Author of 100+ courses on Pluralsight and LinkedIn Learning, co-founder of ActualTech Media, and CCIE #9369.
I built this assessment around the questions I'd ask if I walked into your IT department tomorrow. You get the answers within 48 hours, not at the end of a consulting engagement.
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 this different from hiring a consultant?
A readiness assessment from a consulting firm typically runs well into five figures and takes over a month. This report is the diagnostic layer of that engagement — the same questions I'd ask walking into your IT department — for $497, delivered within 48 hours. Many teams use it to decide whether they need the bigger engagement at all.
Why not just ask ChatGPT?
You'd get generic advice with no fixed scoring framework, no benchmark bands, no revision or refund on the line, and no named expert accountable for it. The value here is a deterministic score, a document your CFO can act on, and 25+ years of enterprise IT judgment reviewing every page.
What if the report misses the mark?
One revision round is included: reply to your delivery email with what you'd like expanded or corrected, and I'll rework those sections. And if it still doesn't give you a plan you can act on, the 14-day refund stands.
Can I share it inside my company?
Yes. Your report comes with an internal license: share the web link or PDF freely with your leadership team and board. Republishing or reselling outside your organization isn't allowed.
I'm an MSP or consultant — can I run this for my clients?
Yes. The partner program gives you co-branded reports with your logo on the cover, a co-branded sample to sell with, and David's review on every report. See the partner page to apply.
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 within 48 hours 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.
