title: "What Is an AI Readiness Assessment?"
description: "An AI readiness assessment checks whether a specific workflow or team is ready for AI: whether the work repeats, whether the information it needs is reachable and trustworthy, whether someone owns the outcome, whether risky actions have an approval point, and whether results can be measured. A low score points to what to fix first rather than a reason to stop."

# What does an AI readiness assessment measure?

An AI readiness assessment checks whether a specific workflow or team is ready for AI: whether the work repeats, whether the information it needs is reachable and trustworthy, whether someone owns the outcome, whether risky actions have an approval point, and whether results can be measured. A low score points to what to fix first rather than a reason to stop.

## What this means in practice

- Assess one workflow at a time; company-wide scores hide the real gaps.
- Score value, information, ownership, control and measurement separately.
- Treat missing ownership or measurement as the first thing to fix.
- Re-assess after changes so progress is visible.

## How Lid Vizion approaches it

We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
