AI Adoption Is Everywhere. Readiness Is Not.

AI is transforming how work gets done across every function, from compliance and customer service to innovation and risk management.

It has become an invisible infrastructure shaping how individuals make decisions, analyse data, and create value. Employees now use AI to write reports, generate insights, and automate processes,  yet few organisations understand how confidently or safely these tools are being used.

Beneath the surface of adoption lies a widening capability gap. Most enterprises lack visibility into how well their people understand AI, apply it responsibly, or adapt as technologies evolve.
Without measuring these individual capabilities, organisations cannot distinguish confidence from competence, or activity from real readiness. The result is transformation built on assumption rather than insight.

But Most Organizations Can't Answer Three Critical Questions:

Who Is Using AI Effectively?

Are They Doing It Responsibly and Securely?

Is capability improving or just assumed?

Without visibility, even the best-funded AI initiatives remain vulnerable and even the best AI Strategies remain blind. Training investments miss their mark. Risk remains invisible. Transformation slows without explanation.

The AI Capability Diagnostic: The Strategic Infrastructure for AI Transformation

The AI Capability Diagnostic is a structured, research-backed assessment that measures and benchmarks AI capability across ten critical domains. It enables individuals and organisations to understand where they currently stand while giving leaders clear, evidence-based visibility into readiness, risk, and opportunity. More than a test, it is a strategic tool that evaluates capability across three dimensions: Knowledge, Skills, and Behaviours, providing a clear view of how AI is understood and applied. Whether for an individual, team, or enterprise, the diagnostic reveals your current state of capability and the direction for future growth.

65 Minute Assessment

A comprehensive evaluation designed to measure AI capability across 10 Capability Areas. It captures how individuals understand, apply, and interact with AI in real-world professional contexts.

Three-dimensional evaluation

Each response is analysed across Knowledge, Skills, and Behaviours to provide 1 clear picture of readiness. This tri-dimensional view distinguishes surface awareness from applied understanding and responsible use.

Six proficiency levels

Results are mapped across six levels of proficiency, from Basic Awareness to Strategic Mastery. This structured model highlights where capability is strong and where targeted improvement is needed.

Actionable insights

The diagnostic transforms data into clarity. It provides leaders with evidence-based insights to prioritise learning, strengthen governance, and guide responsible AI adoption across the organisation.

Built on Research. Designed for Impact.
