93% of AI spend goes to tools. Only 7% goes to preparation.
Are You Ready for AI?
6 questions to find out if you're investing in the right 7%
Are you buying AI tools before fixing the processes they're supposed to automate?
Trying to digitize chaos just gives you faster chaos
Are you guessing where your team loses time, rather than measuring it?
Without measurement, you're building solutions for imaginary problems
Are your people working around the system instead of with it?
Shadow systems, spreadsheets, and workarounds mean your process is broken, not your technology
Would a new hire need to ask twenty questions to follow your process?
If your process lives in people's heads, AI can't help you
Are you solving the same problem twice because systems don't talk to each other?
Manual handoffs and duplicate data entry waste more time than bad software
Are you hoping your automation will pay back, rather than knowing?
Most AI projects fail because nobody measured the problem first

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Quick Check?
- The Quick Check is a free two-minute self-assessment that gives you an indicative AI readiness score. You answer a short set of questions about your processes and systems and get a result immediately, with no call and no waiting.
- Is it really free, and do I get chased afterwards?
- It is free and there is no obligation. You will not get a sequence of sales emails for taking it.
- How accurate is it?
- It is indicative rather than diagnostic, and it is honest about that. It is built from the same questions I would ask in the first ten minutes of a discovery call, so it points you in the right direction. It cannot see your actual processes, which is what a proper assessment does.
- What do I do with my score?
- Use it to decide whether the conversation is worth having. A low score usually means there is obvious ground to make up, and a high score usually means the opportunity is narrower and more specific. Either result is useful and neither obliges you to do anything.
- How is this different from the AI Visibility Audit?
- The Quick Check looks inward at how ready your business is to use AI. The AI Visibility Audit looks outward at whether AI engines can see and recommend you. Different questions, different answers, and most businesses need to think about both eventually.
- Can I do it for a specific department rather than the whole business?
- Yes, and it often works better that way. Answer it as the head of that team rather than as the business, and you will get a sharper result.
