AI IMPACT AND READINESS

A practical assessment that shows what to measure, what to improve, and what to prove before AI use expands.

MEASURE
OPTIMIZE
PROVE

CLIENT DETAILS

SYSTEM ROUTE

A — MEASURE
Identify the priority, risks, and starting point.

B — OPTIMIZE
Build the workflow, safeguards, and adoption plan.

C — PROVE
Confirm results and expand only what works.

PURPOSE

Identify the best opportunity, the main barrier, and the next practical step.

HOW TO RESPOND

Rate what happens consistently today. Use evidence when available. Do not rate intentions or future.

HOW RESULTS ARE USED

The total score shows overall maturity. Risk, workflow, and evidence checks determine the recommended path.

01 Purpose and Alignment

Checks whether AI use supports clear priorities and keeps people accountable.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Without a clear goal and owner, AI becomes another tool instead of improving business.

SCORING SCALE

1 Never
2 Rarely true
3 Usually True
4 Consistently true

DIMENSION OUTPUT

Score: — / 20

Evidence notes strengthen interpretation but do not replace the scored responses.

#1234
1I am clear on the business or work tasks I expect AI to improve.
2I use AI to solve clear problems, not just because the technology is available.
3I rank AI opportunities by value, effort, and risk.
4I know which decisions and tasks should stay mainly human-led.
5My AI use supports clear career, team, business, or performance goals.
PRIORITY GAP (OPTIONAL)

INTERPRETATION GUIDANCE

WHAT IS WORKING WELL

Clear goals, ownership, and human decision boundaries give AI use a practical direction.

PRIORITY AREAS TO STRENGTHEN

Each AI use should remain tied to a defined problem, an accountable owner, and an expected result.

RECOMMENDED NEXT ACTIONS

Before adding new uses, document the priority, owner, success measure, and decisions that require human review.

02 Workflow Integration

Checks whether useful AI practices are part of repeatable workflows, not isolated experiments.

WHY THIS MATTERS

AI creates dependable value when the process is documented, repeatable, easy to review, and part of normal work.

SCORING SCALE

1 Never
2 Rarely true
3 Usually True
4 Consistently true

DIMENSION OUTPUT

Score: — / 20

Evidence notes strengthen interpretation but do not replace the scored responses.

#1234
6I use AI in documented or consistently repeated workflows.
7I know which workflow steps benefit from AI and which do not.
8I use reusable prompts, templates, instructions, or quality checks for repeat work.
9I can turn AI output into an approved, completed work product efficiently.
10AI reduces time, rework, or manual effort instead of adding complexity.
PRIORITY GAP (OPTIONAL)

INTERPRETATION GUIDANCE

WHAT IS WORKING WELL

Repeatable steps, reusable tools, and clear review points make AI-supported work easier to complete consistently.

PRIORITY AREAS TO STRENGTHEN

The workflow should not depend on one person’s prompting habits, memory, or informal process.

RECOMMENDED NEXT ACTIONS

Document one priority workflow, define reusable inputs and quality checks, and assign human review points.

03 Skill and Judgment

Checks whether people can guide, question, and improve AI output using professional judgment.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Good results depend on clear context, limits, review, and sound judgment—not prompt tricks.

SCORING SCALE

1 Never
2 Rarely true
3 Usually True
4 Consistently true

DIMENSION OUTPUT

Score: — / 20

Evidence notes strengthen interpretation but do not replace the scored responses.

#1234
11I provide enough context, limits, examples, and clear success criteria.
12I can spot output that is incomplete, misleading, unsupported, or wrong.
13I test and improve outputs instead of accepting the first response.
14I choose tools based on the task, data, risk, and needed capability.
15I apply my own judgment and take responsibility before using or sharing output.
PRIORITY GAP (OPTIONAL)

INTERPRETATION GUIDANCE

WHAT IS WORKING WELL

Good AI use combines clear instructions, critical review, deliberate tool selection, and professional judgment.

PRIORITY AREAS TO STRENGTHEN

People need consistent standards for checking accuracy, improving weak output, and taking responsibility before use.

RECOMMENDED NEXT ACTIONS

Use real work examples to practice context, verification, revision, and final human approval.

04 Risk and Responsible Use

Checks whether privacy, accuracy, ownership, human review, and escalation are managed.

WHY THIS MATTERS

AI use should not grow faster than its safeguards. The organization must know what data is allowed, what must be checked, and where people keep final authority.

SCORING SCALE

1 Never
2 Rarely true
3 Usually True
4 Consistently true

DIMENSION OUTPUT

Score: — / 20

Evidence notes strengthen interpretation but do not replace the scored responses.

#1234
16I do not enter confidential, sensitive, personal, or restricted information without approval.
17I verify important facts using reliable sources.
18I understand how the tools I use store, use, or share data.
19I check outputs for bias, weak assumptions, missing information, and affected people.
20I know when AI-supported work needs human review, approval, or escalation.
PRIORITY GAP (OPTIONAL)

INTERPRETATION GUIDANCE

WHAT IS WORKING WELL

Clear rules for data, fact-checking, approval, ownership, and escalation support responsible AI use.

PRIORITY AREAS TO STRENGTHEN

Safeguards must keep pace with new tools, data sources, and higher-risk uses.

RECOMMENDED NEXT ACTIONS

Define approved data, required checks, human approval points, and escalation rules before expanding use.

05 Impact and Measurement

Checks whether results are measured, weak uses are stopped, and evidence guides spending.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Without a starting point and clear measures, productivity claims remain opinions and weak uses continue wasting time and money.

SCORING SCALE

1 Never
2 Rarely true
3 Usually True

DIMENSION OUTPUT

Score: — / 20

Evidence notes strengthen interpretation but do not replace the scored responses.

#1234
21I can identify specific tasks where AI saves time or increases capacity.
22I can identify where AI improves quality, consistency, or decision speed.
23I measure at least one outcome, such as time, quality, revenue, cost, errors, or decision speed.
24I stop, change, or lower the priority of AI uses that do not create real value.
25I can show, with evidence, how AI has improved work or business performance.
PRIORITY GAP (OPTIONAL)

INTERPRETATION GUIDANCE

WHAT IS WORKING WELL

Baselines and meaningful measures show where AI improves time, quality, capacity, cost, or revenue.

PRIORITY AREAS TO STRENGTHEN

Anecdotes and isolated examples are not enough to support ROI or expansion decisions.

RECOMMENDED NEXT ACTIONS

Set a baseline and target for one priority use case, track the result, and expand only when evidence supports it.

08 Pathway Decision Logic

Choose the client path based on the main barrier and available evidence—not the total score alone.

A — MEASURE

Assess and Prioritize

USE WHEN
Use when the score is below 64, the use case is unclear, the starting measure is missing, Purpose is 11 or lower, or the Risk check is triggered.

REQUIRED OUTCOME
A prioritized opportunity, documented starting point, clear risk limits, and a practical 30–90 day roadmap.

ADVANCE WHEN
Move forward when the use case, owner, starting measure, safeguards, success measure, target, and scope are clear.

B — OPTIMIZE

Build and Enable

USE WHEN
Use when the opportunity is clear, but Workflow Integration or Skill and Judgment is below 16, or success depends on individual effort.

REQUIRED OUTCOME
A redesigned workflow, reusable tools, human review points, safeguards, training, and an adoption plan.

ADVANCE WHEN
Move forward when the workflow is in use, adoption can be seen, and performance data is being collected.

C — PROVE

Measure and Scale

USE WHEN
Use when the total score is at least 84, Workflow, Risk, and Impact are each at least 16, and reliable evidence is available.

REQUIRED OUTCOME
A verified KPI dashboard, clear evidence of value, improvement decisions, and recommendations on what to expand.

ADVANCE WHEN
Continue when ongoing evidence supports improvement, expansion, or stopping.

RISK COMES FIRST. Do not recommend expansion when safeguards are not strong enough. EVIDENCE COMES BEFORE CLAIMS. Set the starting measure before claiming value or presenting ROI. FOLLOW THE RIGHT ORDER. A client can start at B or C only when the required conditions are already proven.
