Most AI projects fail for reasons that have nothing to do with the model: data that is not accessible, workflows that were never documented past the happy path, or no one senior enough with the mandate and budget to see a build through. An AI Readiness Assessment exists to surface those blockers before they surface themselves mid-project.
The six dimensions
Kelriva's framework evaluates readiness across six dimensions: data infrastructure (is data accessible and API-reachable), process documentation (are workflows defined to edge-case level, not just the happy path), technology stack compatibility (do existing systems support AI integration), compliance and governance posture (can AI be deployed within regulatory obligations), leadership alignment and budget (is there a mandate and approved spend), and prior AI experience (what has already been tried, and what stopped it).
Two ways to check it
There are two distinct products here, deliberately kept separate: the free AI Readiness Score is a self-serve interactive tool for a fast first read, while the paid AI Readiness Assessment is a fixed-fee (£4,500), 9-to-14-day engagement that produces a full 6-dimension audit and a prioritised 90-day roadmap with a board-ready deck. Start with the free tool if you want a quick signal; commission the assessment when you need something to take to the board.
