Which AI initiative should your business focus on first?

Eight questions, about 90 seconds. You'll get a result across eight categories — from process cleanup to quick wins to a full AI roadmap — plus the one move I'd make first.

Free, no signup to start. From John — the same first look I run before any build gets scoped.

What it measures

Eight categories. Four dimensions. One honest answer.

The check looks at 8 things — business pain, workflow repetition, data availability, process clarity, systems and tools, risk and human review, implementation capacity, and urgency — and rolls them into four dimensions:

01
Focus
How concentrated and repeatable your best opportunity is — clear pain plus a repeating pattern.
02
Foundations
Whether the process is written down, the data is reachable, and the tools can support a build.
03
Capacity
Whether someone can own the system, and how much human review your work demands.
04
Momentum
How urgent this is, and how much business impact fixing it would have.
The five results

Every business lands somewhere useful.

No trick scoring and no “everyone should hire us” ending. These are the five results the check can give you, in the open:

Result 01
Process Cleanup First

Your best first AI initiative isn't AI yet — it's making one workflow clear enough to build on.

Result 02
Quick-Win Ready

You're ready for one small, well-chosen AI-assisted workflow — not a platform.

Result 03
Workflow Automation Ready

Your workflows repeat and your tools can support automation — you can go beyond drafting.

Result 04
AI Systems Ready

You have the foundations for AI that works inside your systems — assistants, integrations, agentic workflows.

Result 05
Strategic AI Roadmap Needed

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.

FAQ

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.

Is the check free?

Yes, completely. It is the same first look I run before any implementation project gets scoped — the value is in knowing what not to build.

Why do you ask for my email?

So I can send you your result to keep, and the occasional practical framework. No spam, no sales sequence — details are in the Privacy Policy.

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.
