What we check

Four dimensions.
Three statements each.

AI programmes rarely fail on technology. They fail on one of these four. The check tells you which one is holding yours back.

01

Data

What your business generates, captures, and ignores. The raw material AI runs on.

02

Direction

Where your senior team agrees AI should move the needle. Consensus before code.

03

Driver

Who owns AI outcomes. An internal driver inside your business, and an external driver who has done it before. You need both.

04

Domain

The competitive knowledge unique to your company. The moat AI is meant to widen.

How this scores

Twelve statements, three per dimension. You rate each from 1 (not started) to 5 (leading). Each dimension scores out of 15 and lands in one of four bands; the company band is the same scale applied to all twelve.

Data

  1. We have identified and documented all the data our business generates — sales, operations, customer interactions, production, and communications.
  2. Our key business data is stored digitally in structured systems (ERP, CRM, spreadsheets, databases) — not primarily in paper records or people's heads.
  3. We track data consistently across departments and over time — the same metrics, same formats, same frequency.

Direction

  1. Our senior leadership team has discussed AI as a strategic priority — with formal time allocated, not just casual conversation.
  2. We have identified at least one specific business problem we want to solve with AI in the next 12 months.
  3. There is consensus among our leadership team about where AI should be applied first.

Driver

  1. There is a specific person in our business who is responsible for our AI function — not as a side project, but as a genuine priority.
  2. Alongside that internal owner, we have an external driver who has done this before — someone who can evaluate options and challenge vendors from experience.
  3. That person (or team) has the authority to make decisions on tools, vendors, and AI implementation approach.

Domain

  1. Our business has documented its key processes, decision rules, and institutional knowledge — not just in people's heads.
  2. We understand what makes our domain knowledge unique compared to competitors — and protect it accordingly.
  3. We have considered how AI could be trained on our domain knowledge to create proprietary capabilities.
