Free AI Readiness Assessment for UK Businesses: Your Score in Minutes
An AI readiness assessment shows how ready your business is to use AI, and what to fix first. Answer 12 questions on data, process, people and governance. You see your score on screen straight away, with no sign up. It is free, and it comes from HAeX, a UK AI agency.
- You see your score without giving an email.
- The method is shown under your result.
- You can save your report and delete it later.
How we work this out
Twelve questions, three for each of four areas: data, processes, people and governance. Each answer scores 0 to 3.
Area score = the total for its three questions ÷ 9 × 100. Overall score = the average of the four area scores, so each area counts equally.
Under 40 means build the foundations first. From 40 to 75 means you are ready to pick a first project. Above 75 means you are well placed and should scale with controls. These bands are our judgement, not an industry standard.
When enough people have taken the assessment we will show how your score compares with the average. Until then we show no comparison, because we have no data to base one on.
Example: scores of 56 for data, 44 for processes, 67 for people and 22 for governance give an overall score of 47. That is ready to start, with governance as the first gap to close.
It is a short check of how ready you are to use AI well. It looks at four areas: your data, your processes, your people and your rules.
What is an AI readiness assessment?
Many AI projects stall for dull reasons. The data is messy, nobody owns the task or there is no policy. The assessment finds those gaps early, when they cost little to fix.
AI readiness assessment
What does the assessment ask?
It asks 12 plain questions. You choose from short answers. There are no trick questions and no technical terms.
The four areas are:
Data:
where your records live and how tidy they are.
Process:
how clear and repeatable your tasks are.
People:
who would own and use an AI tool.
Governance:
what rules you have for data and AI use.
It takes a few minutes.
What do I get at the end?
You get a score, a four part chart and a 90 day plan. The plan lists what to fix first and what to try first.
You can save the report as a PDF. An email is optional. If you add one, we send the full report, and we ask for marketing consent with an unticked box.
Yes, it is free. No, you do not need an email to see your result. The score shows on screen straight away.
Is it really free, and do I need to give an email?
An email is only for sending you the full report. You can say no to marketing and still get it. We do not hide the result behind a form.
How is the score worked out?
The score comes from fixed rules. The same answers always give the same score. It is not a guess from an AI model.
Each answer carries points in one of the four areas. The method is shown under your result, so you can see how it was built. We update the rules in the open when they change.
What does my score mean?
A low score means you should fix basics before you build. A middle score means you are ready to start a small project. A high score means you can plan a wider rollout.
Your report explains each of the four parts in plain words, so you see where you are strong and where you are not. A middle score is often the best moment to act, because you can start now and tidy up as you go.

Answers are stored for 12 months, then deleted. Your report has a private link that is hidden from search engines. You can delete it from the report page.
What happens to my answers?
Our privacy policy names the tools we use and the retention period. If you give consent, we may email you. If you do not, we do not.
Who is it for?
It is for owners and managers of UK firms who want to know where they stand before they spend. It suits firms of any size, from 5 people upwards.
If you run a small firm, see AI consulting for small businesses. It also helps larger teams that need a shared starting point.
What can I do after I get my score?
You can fix the gaps yourself, with the 90 day plan. You can also book a free call, and we will read your report first.
If your gaps are in rules and risk, see AI governance and compliance. If you are ready to build, see AI Automation. For a full plan, see AI strategy consulting.
If you are still deciding whether AI is worth it, try the short checklist for UK firms. For risk and policy questions, see AI risk assessment.
Questions that come up
What is an AI readiness checklist?
It is a list of things to have in place before you start AI. Our assessment turns that list into a score.
What is an AI maturity assessment?
It is a similar check that measures how far along you are. Our assessment covers both readiness and maturity in plain terms.
How long does it take?
A few minutes. There are 12 questions.
Can I retake it?
Yes. Retake it after you have fixed gaps to see the change.
Is my score shared with anyone?
No. It is private to you. We read it only if you book a call and ask us to.
Is it only for UK firms?
It is written for UK firms, and the governance questions refer to UK rules.
