Generative AI promises real efficiency gains in documentation, analysis, and quality checks. But in safety-critical environments, unchecked adoption creates serious exposure, shadow AI use, failed audits, and governance gaps that are difficult to close after the fact.
The AI Readiness Assessment benchmarks your organisation across four dimensions: AI Strategy & Vision, Governance & Data Control, Data Readiness, and Team Capability.
Instantly see where you are strong, where you are exposed, and what to prioritise first to move from informal pilots to controlled, production-ready AI.
This assessment will help you measure and improve three things:
Whether your AI strategy is realistic for a regulated environment or just boardroom enthusiasm with no execution path
Whether your governance and data controls would survive an audit or leave you exposed to shadow AI and compliance gaps
Whether your team has the capability to actually own and maintain AI systems or whether you'll be permanently dependent on external consultants
If any of these sound familiar, this assessment was built for you:
- You've been asked to develop an AI strategy but aren't sure what "good" looks like in a safety-critical context
- AI tools are already being used informally across your organisation and nobody is sure what data is going where
- You've run a pilot that went quiet after initial enthusiasm and can't work out why
- You need to make a business case to leadership but don't have the evidence to back it up

The Four Dimensions of AI Readiness
AI Strategy & Vision
Clarity of purpose, leadership buy-in, and integration of AI into your business strategy for safety-critical operations.
Governance & Data Control
