AI Readiness Starts with Knowledge
A short, senior-led Snapshot to determine whether your organization’s knowledge foundations are ready to support AI — before you invest further.
What We Mean by AI Readiness
Why organizations reach out
- We want to use AI, but our knowledge is scattered
- We don't trust what AI would surface right now
- Critical context lives in people's heads
- We're worried about risk, not just efficiency
🎯 We help you move from uncertainty → structure → confident experimentation.
The AI Knowledge Readiness Snapshot
What it is
A short, time-boxed engagement designed to create clarity about how organizational knowledge currently functions – and whether it's ready to support AI initiatives.
What it looks at
- Where knowledge lives (people, platforms, documentation)
- How it's structured and governed
- How decisions are made in practice
- Where risk and constraints will surface
What it's not
This is a diagnostic Snapshot, not an implementation or technical audit.
What's Included
The AI Knowledge Readiness Snapshot includes:
- High-level knowledge mapping
- Governance and ownership scan
- 1-2 leadership-level conversations
- Limited document review (no system access)
- A concise Snapshot summary with next-step guidance
Intentionally lightweight, senior-led, and non-invasive.
What you'll walk away with
- Clarity on whether your knowledge foundations can support AI
- Reduced risk of investing in the wrong work
- Direction on what (if anything) should come next
Sometimes the answer is proceed. Sometimes it's to slow down. Sometimes it's to pause.

Is this the right starting point?
The AI Knowledge Readiness Snapshot is designed for organizations that want clarity before committing to AI initiatives.
Some teams already know they need a deeper assessment or implementation work. Others need a focused first step to understand their current state. The Snapshot helps determine which path makes sense – without overcommitting too early.
