Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the checklist take?
15 minutes to complete. The questions are designed around what a senior leader already knows about their organisation. No data gathering required in advance.

Is this checklist free?
Yes. Both the AI Readiness Checklist and the AI Readiness Framework are free to download from this page. No payment, no subscription.

What happens after I complete the checklist?
You get a score across six dimensions. You can act on the recommendations yourself, or book a free 30-minute call with Simon Steggles, Fractional AI Director, to review your results and identify the highest-priority next steps.

How is this different from other AI readiness tools?
Most AI readiness tools are built for large enterprises or focus only on technical infrastructure. This checklist was designed for UK SME leaders who need a practical, board-level view of readiness across strategy, governance, data, skills, and security.

Do I need technical knowledge to use this?
No. The checklist is written for business leaders, not IT teams. If you can assess your organisation’s current priorities and risk appetite, you can complete this accurately.
