How scoring works

Each dimension is scored 0–100 from your answers, then combined into one overall score. The weights aren't arbitrary — they reflect how much each dimension actually 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, but it enables the work rather than delivering it — 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 licence to operate — weighted to matter without overriding delivery.
  • 15%Investor / Business Experience. The outward proof of readiness — what companies actually feel — balanced against the internal dimensions that produce it.
