    Ten questions worth answering

    If you cannot answer yes to one of these, that is where to start. The first six carry the most weight, because they are the ones a client, an insurer or an assessor is most likely to ask about.

    1. Could you list every AI tool in use across your business today?
      Including free accounts, browser extensions and anything on a personal login.
    2. Do you know which of those sit on personal accounts?
      A personal account on your company email address is the common case.
    3. Is there a written policy saying what your people may put into an AI tool?
      A verbal "be sensible" does not count here, and neither does a message in a chat channel.
    4. Does someone decide, on a known basis, when a new AI tool gets approved?
      A named person and a repeatable test.
    5. If a client asked for your AI policy in writing tomorrow, could you send it?
      The same question arrives from insurers at renewal and from assessors at audit.
    6. Do you know what the AI tools in use can reach in your systems?
      Whoever is connected can ask the tool for anything their own account can already open.
    7. Is there one number for what your business spends on AI?
      Including subscriptions on personal cards and expense claims.
    8. Could you show whether any AI use so far has been worth it?
      Evidence rather than one person's account of saving a day a week.
    9. Does one person own AI internally, with the time and authority to do it?
      Owning it on top of an existing full-time job usually means nobody has the time to do it.
    10. Have you told your team what AI does and does not mean for their jobs?
      Silence is usually read as bad news, and it is the main reason adoption stalls without anyone reporting it.

    What happens to them

    Nothing, unless you choose to do something with them.

    • Nothing is sent The questions run in your browser. No answer leaves this tab, and there is no form to fill in before or after.
    • No score You get the two or three things to do first, not a number out of ten or a maturity label to compare against anyone else.
    • Yours to keep Copy the findings into an email or the notes of a booking. Whether anyone else sees them is up to you.
    • When you want more than ten questions The readiness snapshot finds the tools in use, on whose accounts and what each can reach, over five working days.

    Rather talk it through?

    Thirty minutes with the people who would do the work. You leave knowing which first step makes sense, and if you do not need us, we will tell you.
