What you walk away with
A number you can show the board —
and a plan you can act on.
As of April 2026, the Buzzi.ai AI Readiness Assessment is a free 10-minute check that scores your company across the five focus areas that actually predict AI success — strategy, data, infrastructure, talent and governance. Answer 35 plain-English questions and walk away with a board-ready score, a peer benchmark, and three concrete moves for this quarter.
The number
A score your board understands.
One headline number out of 100, plus five sub-scores — mapped to a maturity tier you can act on (Exploring, Scaling, Mature).
The context
Benchmark against peers.
See how you stack up against companies in your industry and of similar size — so the number means something.
The plan
A 90-day action plan.
The three moves most likely to lift your weakest area in the next quarter — written in plain English, not consulting jargon.
Five focus areas
The five things that
actually predict AI success.
We borrow the structure from the frameworks auditors use — NIST AI RMF, the EU AI Act, ISO 42001 — but we ask the questions in English.
Strategy & Leadership
Your AI plan
Do you have a clear answer for why AI, where it fits, and who owns it? Exec sponsorship, budget signals and the first use cases.
Data Readiness
Your data
Can your data actually power an AI model? Quality, access, governance and whether anyone knows where the truth lives.
Infrastructure & Technology
Your tech stack
Cloud footprint, APIs, MLOps maturity — whether you could plug an AI system in without six months of plumbing.
Talent & Skills
Your team
Do you have — or can you borrow — the people to build, run and govern AI systems? In-house skills and the gaps.
Governance & Risk
Your guardrails
Policies, review processes, and the safety rails that keep a fast-moving AI rollout out of the news for the wrong reasons.
The experience
Plain-English questions in.
A board-ready report out.
No jargon, no scoring rubric to decode. One question at a time. Keyboard friendly. Pick up later from any device.
What answering looks like
What you receive
Who this is for
One assessment. Four different readers.
The report is one page. The part each of them cares about is a click away.
CEO
A number your board can react to.
One score, a maturity tier, and the moves that shift the number this quarter. No consulting jargon, no six-figure project.
CTO / CIO
A map of where the plumbing is missing.
See which focus area is holding you back — data, infra, talent or governance — and which single move unblocks the others.
Head of People
Proof of the capability gap.
Where you can skill-up internally, where you need to borrow, and what "AI-ready" means for each function in your company.
Risk & Compliance
A governance baseline you can defend.
Mapped to the frameworks auditors actually reference — so your answers double as the first draft of your AI policy.
FAQ
Questions teams ask
before the assessment.
How long does the AI readiness assessment take?
Eight to twelve minutes for the solo version (35 questions across five pillars). Team mode scopes each teammate to 6-7 questions in one pillar, typically three to five minutes per person.
What frameworks does the assessment reference?
Recommendations are tagged against NIST AI RMF (Govern, Map, Measure, Manage), EU AI Act articles, and ISO/IEC 42001 clauses. Vertical banks additionally reference HIPAA, SOX / NYDFS / SR 11-7, and FedRAMP where relevant.
Is the AI readiness assessment free?
Yes. The full assessment, scored results, pillar radar, top recommendations, and basic PDF are free. Sign in with Google to unlock the AI-written executive brief, board slide deck, budget memo, and 90-day action plan tracker.
What do the five AI readiness pillars measure?
Strategy & Leadership (20%), Data Readiness (25%), Infrastructure & Technology (15%), Talent & Skills (15%), Governance & Risk (25%). Each pillar is scored 0-100 and an overall weighted score determines your maturity tier.
How does the benchmark comparison work?
We compare your pillar scores to anonymised peers of the same industry and company size. When fewer than 30 peers exist for your exact segment, we fall back to an industry-wide average. Quartile benchmarks ("top peers scored X") are shown where data supports it.
Can I invite colleagues to complete parts of the assessment?
Yes. Team mode lets the assessment owner delegate any pillar to a named teammate. Each invite is a signed, scoped link for exactly the chosen pillar. Completed teammate answers feed the overall score, and your dashboard tracks who has answered.
What is a 90-day re-assessment?
Ninety days after your initial assessment we invite you back. Your prior answers are pre-filled and the results page overlays your current radar on top of your prior one, showing pillar-by-pillar delta and which action-plan items likely drove the move.
Will my data be shared?
Only in anonymised, aggregate form for peer benchmarking and the annual State of AI Readiness report. We never expose your identity, your company name, or your raw answers to other users.
What is the difference between a "Nascent" and an "Integrated" organisation?
Nascent (0-25) means foundational work dominates. Emerging (26-50) means pilots exist with little structure. Scaling (51-75) means multiple production use cases with emerging governance. Integrated (76-100) means AI is embedded with measurable impact.
