AI Readiness Self-Check, open instead of gated

Many "AI readiness tests" on the web are only half self-assessment. I've taken a closer look at a few of them over the past days.

Dozens are online, also from big consulting brands — and anyone looking for orientation lands on one quickly. I walked through two of them in more detail.

The first one rolls out five innocent-looking questions, then this one shows up: *"In which area do you need the most support?"* The answer options match the provider's consulting practices suspiciously well. That isn't wrong — but it's less a position assessment than a lead qualification.

The second one doesn't even get to the questions. First you have to provide name, company, role and country, then you wait. Apparently a human decides whether you get to take the test. *"Self-Assessment"* is still what it says on the landing page.

The pattern behind this: many of these tools don't first help the company assess itself honestly. They first help the provider qualify a contact.

I deliberately tried to build an AI readiness check that sits out in the open — no signup, no email, no call-back. 21 questions across 7 dimensions: problem fit, data, processes, leadership, knowledge & culture, value, governance. Result is instant.

The test is meant to stay open and improvable on purpose. Anyone who sees substantive additions or sharper questions: comments welcome.
