How AI-ready is your business — really?
Most $15M–$75M companies know they need AI but don't know where to start. The ardn ai Business Readiness Assessment scores your operation across five dimensions, shows you exactly where the gaps are, and recommends the first AI module to deploy. The full report is free — unlocked with your work email.
What you receive
A scored report. A first move. A recommended tier.
Not a generic checklist. A breakdown of your specific business scored against where AI produces real return in companies your size.
Your AI Readiness Score
An overall 0–100 score plus a dimension-by-dimension breakdown. You see exactly where you're strong and where you're leaving money on the table.
Your Recommended First Move
The AI module that would produce the fastest ROI for your business, based on your lowest-scoring dimension and your company size.
Your Retainer Tier
Based on how many dimensions are underdeveloped and your revenue band, we recommend Starter, Growth, or Enterprise — with a direct cost comparison to hiring.
The framework
Five dimensions. Every one maps to a module we can deploy.
The assessment scores you on the five areas that determine whether AI compounds or stalls inside a business. Each dimension maps directly to an AI module — so your score tells us exactly where to start.
Data & Visibility
Maps to: CEO Intelligence Dashboard
Can your business see itself clearly? We score the quality, accessibility, and centralisation of your data — and whether you have a live view of the KPIs that run your operation.
High score
Live dashboards. Decisions made from facts. AI has clean data to run on.
Low score
Month-old spreadsheets. Gut-feel decisions. No single source of truth.
Sales & Marketing
Maps to: Sales & Marketing Automation
How much of your pipeline runs on manual effort? We assess how repeatable, trackable, and automatable your sales and marketing process is — and where leads are falling through the cracks.
High score
Predictable pipeline. Automated follow-up. CRM that updates itself.
Low score
Reps doing admin. Leads going cold. No visibility into what's working.
Operations & Workflow
Maps to: Operations & Workflow Automation
Where is your team doing work that should be automated? We identify the highest-volume, most repeatable processes — the ones that consume hours every week and produce no revenue.
High score
Documented processes. Fast onboarding. Low error rates. Agents handling the volume.
Low score
Everything depends on a person. Errors are common. The CEO keeps trying to hire for it.
People & AI Literacy
Maps to: Internal AI Training Program
Will your team actually use AI when it's installed? We assess your team's current AI fluency and change readiness — the most common reason AI fails in a business isn't the technology, it's adoption.
High score
Team already experimenting. Clear usage policy. Fast adopters. AI compounds naturally.
Low score
AI is seen as a threat or a gimmick. No structured usage. High change resistance.
Strategy & Leadership
Maps to: AI Strategy & Competitive Intelligence
Is AI a deliberate decision at your company, or a reaction to what competitors are doing? We assess whether your leadership has a clear AI point of view and a roadmap.
High score
AI on the board agenda. Roadmap exists. Competitive intelligence tracked.
Low score
No AI strategy. Reactive decisions. Competitors are moving and you're watching.
How it works
Score → gap → module → tier. In that order.

What our clients say
What you walk away with.
“We'd been talking about AI for 18 months. After the readiness call, we had a clear first project, a cost model, and a start date. We kicked off the following week.”
“I expected a sales pitch. What I got was a structured scorecard and a genuine 'here's where you should start and why.' It was a completely different conversation from every other AI vendor I'd met.”
“The assessment flagged our data problem before we wasted money on automations that would have failed anyway. That alone saved us six figures in the wrong direction.”
Five minutes to know where you stand.
Score your business, find the gap, start with the module that pays off first.
