AI Readiness Checklist: 20 questions to ask before you buy any AI tool
A free 20-question checklist that scores your workflows on volume, rules, data, and risk, so you pick the 2 to 3 where AI will pay back first.
The pain point
Most companies your size do not lack AI options. They lack clarity on which ones are worth the disruption. Tools get bought, a pilot runs, and six months later nothing changed.
The solution
Score each workflow against 20 plain questions. The checklist groups them so you see where volume, clear rules, clean data, and low risk line up.
The expected outcome
A ranked shortlist of 2 to 3 workflows to automate first, and a clear no on the rest, so you spend on the work that pays back.
What is inside
- 20 scored questions across four areas
- A one-page scoring grid
- How to read your score and what to do next
