Know Where You Stand, Before AI Creates Problems You Didn’t See Coming
An AI Readiness Assessment Built for Small & Medium-Sized Businesses
AI is already being used in most SMBs, often informally.
This assessment helps you understand where AI is showing up, what risks may exist, and what to do next, without enterprise complexity or pressure.
Why This Assessment Exists
Most SMB leaders aren’t asking:
“How do we become an AI company?”
They’re asking:
-
“Are we using AI safely?”
-
“Are we exposed without realizing it?”
-
“What happens if something goes wrong?”
-
“Do we need policies—or are we overthinking this?”
This assessment exists to answer those questions clearly and calmly.
No hype.
No scare tactics.
No obligation.

Important Context & Expectations

-
The true scope of AI readiness needs
-
Organizational change requirements
-
Timeline, effort, and cost of any AI readiness or enablement program
We believe responsible guidance starts with honesty, not over-promising based on limited data.
