How Ready Is Your Businessfor AI?
AI is moving faster than most organisations can keep up. In 21 questions and about 6 minutes, get a shareable Scorecard that shows where your data foundation is AI-ready — and where it will break under AI scale.
Backed by the Agilus DM360 data-maturity framework.
Sound familiar?
Most organisations know their data isn't AI-ready. The challenge is knowing exactly where the gaps are — and what to fix first.
No clear picture of AI readiness
You know gaps exist, but you can't quantify them or prioritise where to invest before the board asks when AI goes live.
Reporting takes days, not minutes
Manual data wrangling consumes your team's time — the same work that should already be feeding models and dashboards.
AI initiatives stall at the data layer
Most failed AI projects trace back to data problems — not model choice. Governance, quality, and access decide whether AI works.
Compliance risk grows with every model
POPIA, GDPR, and the EU AI Act demand governed data. Without it, every AI use case is a compliance event waiting to happen.
How it works
From first click to actionable insights in three steps.

Scored using a weighted model across 7 pillars aligned to DAMA-DMBOK2, DCAM, and enterprise data frameworks. Each pillar has a defined weight, and 4 gating rules prevent inflated results — for example, if governance is weak, the overall score is capped regardless of the other pillars. The same deterministic engine powers both the free Scorecard and the paid Assessment.
Absolutely. Your responses and results are private to you. We do not share individual results with third parties. Anonymised, aggregated data may be used for industry benchmarking — your organisation is never identified. If you toggle public sharing on, only your first name, company (if supplied), and the Scorecard visuals are exposed — never raw responses.
