nine honest questions about your organisation's relationship with ai. not a readiness score. a mirror. there are no good scores here. only true ones.
question 1 of 9
leadership
When did you last ask someone in your team what they actually think about AI — and really listen to the answer?
Not in a briefing. Not on a survey. A real conversation where their answer surprised you.
honesty
What decision about AI are you avoiding — because you're not sure you want to hear the honest answer?
The avoidance itself is data. What is it telling you?
shadow ai
Do you know which AI tools your team is already using — the ones nobody officially approved?
cost
Do you know how much your organisation is spending on AI tools — including the ones bundled into software packages you already pay for?
governance
If a member of your team used an AI tool to help with a client document today, would you know? Would it matter?
Not a trick question. The answer tells you something important about where your governance actually sits versus where you think it sits.
bids and tenders
If you're marked up for technology on a competitive tender — but your AI stack is cloud-heavy — do you know how that affects your sustainability scoring?
Hyperscale data centre AI has a carbon and water footprint. Procurement frameworks that reward innovation also score on environmental and social impact. Local-first AI scores differently.
people
What is your responsibility to the people in your team if AI makes a significant part of their role redundant within three years?
Not legally. As a person. What do you actually owe them?
uk data
71% of UK workers have used unapproved AI tools for work. Does that figure surprise you — and what does your answer tell you about your organisation?
the honest one
What are you most afraid of getting wrong?
Not what the board is afraid of. Not what the press release says. What you, personally, think about at 2am when this comes to mind.
your result
there is no score.
this assessment does not produce a number. it surfaces what you already half-know. the answers you typed (or didn't) are yours. nothing was sent anywhere.
if any of the questions sat heavier than the others, that's the data. take it back to your team. take it back to your board. take it back to yourself.
"the most important question in any project is not 'can we?' it's 'should we?' i've never seen that question asked more urgently than it needs to be asked right now, about ai."
if it surfaced something, the feedback form is open. anonymous if you want.
