Doyen Pace · AI Readiness Assessment

Is your organization ready for AI-enabled service delivery?

AI is changing how companies research markets and compare locations. This assessment examines whether your organization can respond with comparable speed while preserving sound governance and public trust.

Built for economic development teams. This is a self-assessment to structure a discussion, not an audit or a measured peer ranking.

How scoring works

Each dimension is scored 0–100 from your answers, then combined into one overall score. Each weight reflects how much that dimension drives readiness:

  • 18%Leadership & Mandate. Without a mandate and an accountable owner, every other dimension stalls, so leadership carries the second-highest weight.
  • 17%Approved Tools & Talent. Approved tools and skills are the engine of day-to-day adoption; little happens at scale without them, so it is weighted just below leadership.
  • 15%Data & Knowledge Systems. Data quality sets the ceiling on what AI can do without doing the work itself, so it carries a mid weight.
  • 20%Workflow Integration. Workflow integration determines whether AI changes the service companies receive, so it carries the greatest weight.
  • 15%Governance & Public Trust. For a public body, trust is a license to operate, so it is weighted to matter without overriding delivery.
  • 15%Investor / Business Experience. The outward proof of readiness (what companies feel), balanced against the internal dimensions that produce it.
