A working diagnostic, free to use

The AI Decision Diagnostic

Twelve questions, under five minutes, answerable from what is already in your head. You leave with a straight read on where you stand, your first three moves, and a short list of what not to do yet. No email required.

Built around the four questions executives keep asking: where do we start, which investments actually deliver a return, do we build, buy, or blend, and how do we get our people to adopt what we choose.

Its scope is deliberate: where your organization stands on AI. Pressure-testing your digital strategy at large is the work of the full diagnostic: bring the draft, leave with a clear answer.

If each member of your executive team wrote one sentence on what AI is for in your enterprise, how many different answers would you get?

If each member of your executive team wrote one sentence on what AI is for in your enterprise, how many different answers would you get?

Every downstream decision inherits this sentence. Fragmented intent becomes fragmented spend.

Direction without an owner is a suggestion.

Which best describes your current plan?

Which best describes your current plan?

A plan without a sequence makes every initiative first and none of them funded properly.

ValueWhich investments actually deliver a return?

How does an AI use case get selected in your organization?

How does an AI use case get selected in your organization?

Selection discipline is the difference between a portfolio and a pile.

When a use case ships, do you know where the return shows up?

When a use case ships, do you know where the return shows up?

Returns that are not accounted for get cut in the next budget cycle, along with the credibility of the program.

How is the work funded?

How is the work funded?

Optimize and transform are different ambitions. Funded from one pot, the quick wins crowd out the big bets.

ArchitectureDo we build, buy, or blend?

A vendor pitches an impressive AI capability. What happens next?

The buyer with no criteria inherits the vendor's.

Ownership decisions compound. Rent your differentiators and you fund a competitor's roadmap.

AdoptionWill our people adopt what we choose?

After go-live, who is accountable for whether people actually use it?

After go-live, who is accountable for whether people actually use it?

Adoption is a leadership discipline, not an IT rollout. Unowned adoption is a license renewal without a result.

When a new tool lands, how does the way people actually work change?

When a new tool lands, how does the way people actually work change?

Tools do not change work. Redesigned workflows do. Capability gaps surface later as quiet non-use.

Do you know how much change your organization is already absorbing?

Do you know how much change your organization is already absorbing?

Change capacity is finite and usually spoken for. Sequencing against it is the difference between adoption and fatigue.

The free readout scores what you believe. The paid tiers score what your organization does, and where the two diverge.

The same twelve dimensions, instrumented with evidence: a structured intake and three to five executive interviews of 45 minutes each, two weeks elapsed. You receive a decision brief built for the board room and a one-hour readout: where your team actually disagrees, and the sequence that follows from it.
