Evidence checked

Which statement best describes your organisation's current AI position?

Count genuine AI or machine learning. Automation, digitisation and analytics on their own do not count.

We have no genuine AI activity or intention yet AI is discussed, monitored or tried informally by individuals The organisation has committed to, is piloting or is using AI

What organisational commitment sits behind the AI work?

None Interest or encouragement, but nothing named or sponsored A named strategy, roadmap, policy, framework, body, budget or lead — or sponsored work underway

Is at least one AI application live in ongoing operations?

No A pilot, trial or rollout is underway, or its status is unclear Yes — it is live in an ongoing, named process, function or service

How far does that live AI use reach?

There is no live use One team only, or the reach is not known A division, an organisation-wide service, or the enterprise

Across how many distinct function areas is AI used routinely?

Customer service and finance are distinct functions; two teams doing the same work are not.

None One function area Two or more function areas

How connected is AI to how your organisation creates value?

Consider the organisation's core work and value creation.

It is experimental or mainly administrative support It materially improves important work but is not core to value creation It is core to how we deliver services, operate or compete

Who owns AI across the organisation?

No one is named Ownership is informal or sits with separate teams A named executive, leader or function owns AI organisation-wide

How much work is designed on the assumption that AI performs it?

AI-native is an operating-model test, not a measure of enthusiasm or technology spend.

Little or none Some important processes depend on AI Core products, services or operations are designed to run on AI

What would happen if AI were removed from the organisation tomorrow?

Operations would continue with limited change Important work would be disrupted, but the organisation would operate in much the same form The organisation could not operate in its current form
