Where does AI actually fit your business?
Eight questions, about 90 seconds. You will get a clear read on where your business stands and, more useful, the one change worth making first. Plus your breakdown across four dimensions and the weakest link I'd fix before anything else.
90 seconds now saves weeks of guessing later. Free, no signup.
The same first look John Soriano runs before changing anything in a business. No trick scoring, no pitch at the end.
Readiness is not a grade. It is a starting point.
The check is Move 01 of the loop: it says where your business stands today, then points you at the next move. Every result is a real place to start, and you are meant to take it again once the business has changed. No “everyone should hire us” ending. These are the five results it can give you, in the open:
Your best first AI initiative isn't AI yet. It's making one workflow clear enough to build on.
You're ready for one small, well-chosen AI-assisted workflow, not a platform.
Your workflows repeat and your tools can support automation, so you can go beyond drafting.
You have the foundations for AI that works inside your systems: assistants, integrations, agentic workflows.
You don't have an AI problem; you have a prioritization problem. Sequence before you build.
Whichever you get, the result includes your dimension breakdown, three first steps, and the single weakest link I'd fix before anything else. Start the check →
What the AI readiness assessment measures.
Eight categories, four dimensions, one honest answer. Each question scores one category, and the categories roll up into four dimensions:
Common questions
How long does the AI Readiness Check take? ›
About 90 seconds: eight quick questions about how your business runs today. No preparation needed.
What do I get at the end? ›
One of five result types, from Process Cleanup First to AI Systems Ready, plus a breakdown across four dimensions (Focus, Foundations, Capacity, Momentum), three concrete first steps, and the weakest link I would fix first. Your result is where you enter the Systems Thinker loop: it tells you which move to make next.
Is a low score bad news? ›
No. Readiness is a starting point, not a grade. Every result names a real next move, and the lowest result is often the most useful one to get, because it stops you from spending money on a change that would not have held. Businesses are expected to take the check again once things have changed.
Is the check free? ›
Yes, completely. It is the same first look I run before changing anything in a business. The value is in knowing what not to build.
Do I need to be technical to answer the questions? ›
No. Every question is about how your business runs: where time goes, where information lives, who could own a system. If you run or operate a business, you can answer them.
