Adoption

Make one 90-day decision with evidence.

Choose one important workflow, one measurable problem, and named owners. In 90 days, know whether to scale, adapt, or stop.

Guided self-service evaluation

Frame the decision, score the evidence, and leave with an action brief.

Use the canonical 60-anchor Candidate instrument to identify likely constraints. The result remains self-reported and uncalibrated until appropriate participants or independent reviewers challenge the evidence.

  1. 01Frame the decision
  2. 02Score the evidence
  3. 03Act on the result
Step 1 of 3

Declare what you are assessing and why.

The profile is meaningful only inside a named boundary. This tool runs in your browser and does not submit or store your answers.

What decision should this profile support?

Self-assessment heuristic only; not a calibrated measurement, certification, legal or conformity assessment, safety determination, or predictor of external outcomes.

90-day adoption path

Visibility. Control. Learning.

Each phase must produce a useful decision and supporting evidence, not just meetings and documents.

Days 1-30

Establish visibility

  • Inventory material AI use cases and suppliers
  • Name product, engineering, risk, release, and service owners
  • Classify value, affected parties, autonomy, and risk
  • Map models, prompts, data, knowledge, tools, and agents
  • Select one bounded pilot
Evidence produced

Portfolio inventory, ownership map, risk profile, maturity baseline, pilot charter

Days 31-60

Establish control

  • Apply the nine-stage AI SDLC to the pilot
  • Define behaviour, boundaries, thresholds, and human authority
  • Create architecture, evaluation, security, and control records
  • Version prompts, models, tools, context, policies, and tests
  • Define release, operations, rollback, and escalation
Evidence produced

Traceability matrix, evaluation record, security record, release-readiness package

Days 61-90

Establish learning

  • Observe real quality, risk, cost, reliability, and adoption
  • Capture corrections, overrides, incidents, and user feedback
  • Turn evidence into controlled changes and regression tests
  • Extract initial patterns, anti-patterns, and platform needs
  • Reassess maturity and choose the next portfolio decision
Evidence produced

Operational dashboard, learning backlog, pattern candidates, reassessment and scale decision

Adoption alignment gates

Phase gates must stay synchronized with the book and RA controls.

Each phase starts only when the required evidence and control contracts are explicit.

Days 1-30

No pilot work should start without ownership, risk profiling, and use-case boundary definitions.

Starter pack

The essential records for a credible pilot.

Executive brief

Align the problem, risk appetite, outcomes, decision rights, and pilot.

Maturity worksheet

Record ten dimension scores, inspectable evidence, gaps, owners, and actions.

Use-case brief

Define value, affected parties, constraints, risk, ownership, and success measures.

Traceability matrix

Connect obligations and risks to controls, owners, evidence, gates, and signals.

Evaluation record

Define claims, representative cases, thresholds, results, limitations, and decisions.

Release-readiness record

Bring evidence, approvals, residual risk, operations, and rollback into one gate.
