Free Readiness Scorecard

Before You Invest in AI, Know Where You Actually Stand. A 20-Question Scorecard That Shows You Your Real AI Starting Point.

Most AI implementation failures are predictable. They happen when a business moves into development before its data, team, and processes are ready to support it. The Readiness Assessment shows you where you are, where the gaps are, and which ones to close first.

Complete the scorecard before your first vendor conversation. You will come to that meeting knowing exactly what questions to ask and where to focus the engagement.

20 questions across five readiness dimensions
5 dimensions: data, process, team, tooling, and leadership alignment
15 min to complete — and potentially save months of wasted effort

Inside the Scorecard

Six sections. From understanding what readiness means through to your next action.

The Five Readiness Dimensions

Data quality, process documentation, team capability, current tooling, and leadership alignment — why all five matter before you build.

How to Score Your Business

The 20 questions, the scoring rubric, and how to interpret your result honestly without rounding up.

The Three Readiness Levels

Ready to build, ready to prepare, or not yet ready. What each level means and what you should do next.

The Data Readiness Gap

Why data is the most common readiness failure, what "good enough" data actually looks like, and how to close the gap quickly.

The Team Readiness Gap

The skills your team needs to adopt AI tools effectively, and the training investments that pay off fastest.

From Assessment to Action

How to use your readiness score to build a realistic 90-day preparation plan before your first implementation dollar is spent.

About Heed AI Solutions

We use this assessment at the start of every client engagement.

The AI Readiness Scorecard is the same diagnostic tool Heed AI Solutions uses with new clients before we begin any project work. It surfaces the gaps that would otherwise slow or derail implementation, and it gives leadership a shared, honest picture of where the business actually stands.

Most clients are surprised by what it reveals. Most are glad they did it before they started building.
