    Business Snapshot

    Basic context so we understand your organisation, scale, and the problem you are trying to solve.











    Digital, Data & Infrastructure Footprint

    Helps us assess your data readiness and automation readiness — key determinants of which AI initiatives are feasible for your organisation today.

    Your answers here help us map your organisation against the Data Quality, Tools & Technology, and Automation Readiness dimensions of the AI Capability Maturity Model — all six dimensions assessed before your session.

    MarketingSales & CRMCustomer ServiceFinance & HRReporting & BIOperations and others



    Mostly older on-premise software — limited or no external connectivityMostly cloud-based but siloed — tools do not communicate with each otherCloud-based systems with available APIs — but no integrations currently builtCloud-based systems with active integrations already running between core tools


    Our tools do not connect via API — data is moved manually between systemsSome tools have APIs but we have not used them for automationCore tools have APIs and our data is mostly structured with identifiable trigger eventsAutomation tools in active use (Zapier, Make, Power Automate, n8n) — at least one production workflow runningFull automation infrastructure with API governance, credential management, and an automation registry

    Central Data Warehouse (BigQuery, SQL Server, Fabric)Direct from siloed software (Salesforce, ERP, ticketing)Manual spreadsheets and exported CSVsWe do not deeply analyse our data


    Data is scattered, incomplete, and inconsistently formatted across different systemsData exists in multiple places but quality varies significantly — some clean, some notCore data is reasonably clean but not well-documented or centralised for analysisData is clean, well-structured, and accessible from a central source

    Well-organised central knowledge base (Notion, SharePoint)Searching through scattered shared drives and PDFsAsking colleagues on Slack or TeamsMostly in peoples heads — tribal knowledge

    AI Readiness, Opportunities & Governance

    Helps us understand where you are in the AI adoption journey and which opportunities are most relevant right now.

    Your answers map to the Strategy and Governance dimensions of the AI Capability Maturity Model — identifying which AI initiatives are appropriate for your current readiness level.
