AI risk & readiness · self-assessment

How exposed is your business to AI risk?

Answer about twenty short questions to receive an indicative risk score, an automation opportunity score and a thirty-day starting plan. It is a structured self-check, not a formal audit or compliance assessment.

You can see the on screen score before providing details for the downloadable report.

Interactive self-check

Work through five areas of current practice

Complete the sections in order. The tool calculates the result from the answers you provide and makes its indicative status explicit.
Section 1 of 5 (Your business)0%

Your business

A little context so the score reflects your situation.

What industry are you in?
How many staff?
What does your team mainly run on?
Where are you with AI today?
The tool is not legal advice, a security audit or a compliance assessment. Use the result to identify questions worth verifying.

Methodology

What the check measures

The categories and reasoning are public. Exact point weights are not shown because publishing them would make the result easy to game.

Profile

Your business

Industry, size and platform provide context. Sensitive information and a larger user group can increase the consequence of the same control gap.

AI usage

How AI is used

The check considers managed or free accounts, approved tools and whether use is already happening outside a defined process.

Data

Data exposure

Questions cover information placed into AI tools, sensitive data held by the business and whether anyone reviews access to shared files.

Governance

Governance basics

We consider policy, register, ownership and a review process when AI is in use, so growth does not outpace accountability.

Upside

Automation opportunity

Manual time in reporting, quoting, administration, email and document work informs the opportunity score, with team size providing scale context.

Interpretation

Read the score as a triage signal

A band describes the pattern in the answers; it does not verify controls, prove compliance or replace professional review.

Why two scores?

Risk and opportunity are separate. A business can have significant automation potential while also lacking the data, ownership or controls needed to proceed safely. The pair helps avoid treating adoption speed as the only measure of readiness.

Sensitive industries and larger teams increase the weight of selected data risks because the potential consequence and number of users are greater.

Self-check or review

Know when the form has reached its limit

The free check provides direction. An independent review verifies the situation with people, evidence and systems.

This free check

Self-reported and instant

An indicative score, headline findings, templates and a starting plan based on the answers entered.

Independent review

Interviewed and evidence checked

The AI Readiness Audit and AI Usage Review verify current use, controls and evidence, then provide a tailored roadmap and leadership walkthrough.
