What You Receive
Five-Dimension Score
Scored across Adoption Behavior, Authority Structure, Workflow Integration, Decision Velocity, and Economic Translation. Each dimension scored independently so you know where you're strong, where the gaps are, and which gaps to close first.
Specific Findings Per Dimension
Each dimension delivers specific findings calibrated to your answers and your industry context: what's working, where the gaps are, and what peers at a similar maturity stage are doing differently.
Full Business Case + Priority Actions
Ranked, concrete actions your leadership team can bring into the next planning cycle. Plus financial impact analysis, a P&L business case, security and governance risk by category, structural constraints, competitive positioning, and vendor landscape.
Inside the Report
Nine sections. Each one built to drive a specific decision.
Every section exists because a technology leader at some point needed that exact output and didn't have it. Nothing is padding.
A one-page read the CEO, CFO, or board can absorb in five minutes. Covers your overall score, AI maturity stage, the most critical gap, and the financial cost of standing still.
Your five-dimension radar with a written diagnosis of each score. Shows you not just where you rank, but why the shape of your profile matters and what it predicts about future performance.
Estimates the annual value your organization is leaving unrealized due to AI underperformance, expressed in dollars and as a percentage of revenue. The number that makes the business case real.
Side-by-side projection: invest in closing the gap vs. maintain current trajectory. Gives you the financial narrative for a board or investment committee conversation.
Identifies specific governance gaps by category, mapped to your actual answers. Flags regulatory exposure before it becomes an audit finding or a headline.
A ranked list of the specific moves that will close your highest-value gaps first. Not a generic playbook, calibrated to your score profile and your industry context.
The internal blockers that will kill execution if you don't address them. Most organizations know something is slow; this names the specific mechanism.
Benchmarks your AI posture against five competitor archetypes in your sector. Shows where you have an advantage, where you're exposed, and which competitive threats are structural vs. closeable.
Buy, build, or partner recommendations for your five highest-priority AI use cases, with negotiation intelligence for each key vendor relationship.

How Executives Use It
Not a checkbox. A decision-making tool.
- Get an objective read on where your team stands before a board conversation on AI investment.
- Identify the specific dimensions suppressing performance, not just a vague sense that things are slow.
- Build the financial case for AI investment using the P&L section. The business case section is ready to drop into a board deck.
- Use the structural constraint analysis to understand what's blocking execution before a transformation program starts.
- Assess whether your technology organization's AI posture matches the strategic commitments you've made to the board or investors.
- Get a financial translation of AI readiness in business terms, and understand the cost of inaction in dollar terms.
- Use the competitive positioning section to understand where AI is a genuine differentiator vs. where competitors are ahead.
- Validate or challenge the technology team's AI investment case using an independent, structured financial framework.
- Understand the governance and compliance risk exposure before it shows up in audit findings.
- Quantify the annual value gap from AI underperformance and use it to set a return threshold for any proposed investment.
- Run the diagnostic on a portfolio company to baseline AI maturity ahead of a value creation plan.
- Identify the specific gaps most likely to affect EBITDA over a 24-to-36-month hold period.
- Use the vendor landscape section to surface vendor consolidation and renegotiation opportunities.
Why This Is Different
There are other assessments. Here's what makes this one useful.
Most AI maturity tools tell you what stage you're in and leave you to figure out the rest. This one goes further on every dimension that matters.
Tell you what stage you're in. No financial translation, no priority actions, no competitive context. You still have to build the business case yourself.
Includes a financial impact estimate, P&L business case, and ranked priority actions. The business case is part of the output, not a follow-on project.
Unscored, unweighted surveys that produce a qualitative stage label. No calibration by industry, no specificity on where to act first.
61 questions scored across five independently weighted dimensions. Industry-calibrated benchmarks. The output is specific, not generic.
$50,000-$150,000. Eight to twelve weeks. Junior team doing the analysis. Output optimized for the follow-on engagement, not your decision.
Free. Completed in 20 minutes. Instant output. No NDA negotiation, no kickoff meeting, no deck review cycle. You own the output.
The team assessing itself has every incentive to score generously. The result is not credible to a board, CFO, or outside investor.
A structured, third-party framework that produces a score the organization didn't author. Credible to stakeholders who weren't in the room.
