AI Readiness Assessment for Small Businesses

AI Readiness Assessment for Small Businesses

Most small and mid-sized businesses are experimenting with AI, but very few are actually ready for it.

AI readiness isn’t about tools.

It’s about whether your systems, data, people, and governance can support AI without creating risk, rework, or chaos.

This free assessment helps you quickly understand where your business stands, and what to fix first.

What does “AI readiness” actually mean?


Being AI-ready means your business can safely, effectively, and repeatably use AI to improve how work gets done.


AI readiness typically comes down to five core areas:

Data & Information – Is your data accurate, accessible, and usable?

Governance & Risk – Are there rules, accountability, and safeguards in place?

People & Capability – Do people understand how and when to use AI appropriately?

Systems & Processes – Can AI integrate into how work actually flows?

Leadership & Direction– Is there clarity on why AI is being used at all?

Weakness in any one of these areas limits the value of AI and increases risk.

Common signs a business is not AI-ready

If any of these sound familiar, this assessment is for you:

  • Teams are using AI tools informally or inconsistently

  • Data is fragmented, outdated, or unreliable

  • There’s no guidance on acceptable AI use

  • AI decisions are happening without oversight

  • Leadership interest exists, but direction doesn’t

These issues don’t mean AI isn’t right for your business — they mean the foundations aren’t in place yet.
