01.The Problem

The risk isn't falling behind on AI — it's not knowing where you stand.

Most leadership teams are confident about AI in the rooms where they should be precise. They can talk strategy but can't state the spend. They have a tool everywhere and a thesis nowhere. And the thing that actually blindsides a company is rarely the topic on the agenda — it's the regulatory exposure no one looked at, or the competitor who shipped while you debated. A briefing is supposed to surface that. Most don't.

5
weighted dimensions

Strategy · spend · risk · capability · competition — weights sum to 100.

1
hard gate

A zero on risk/regulatory or competitive awareness forces BLINDSIDED.

60
minutes

One facilitated briefing produces an honest, repeatable verdict.

Rate each dimension 0–5. The verdict is a weighted total — but a 0 on a gate dimension (risk/regulatory or competitive awareness) forces BLINDSIDED no matter how high the total.

Risk & regulatory exposure

Grades a leadership team's preparedness from your own marks — not any individual person, and not for any employment decision. No AI, nothing uploaded. Confirm regulatory exposure with counsel.

03.The Number

A 53 that reads BLINDSIDED — because of the one zero.

Here is the engine's verbatim output on the sample read. The weighted total is 53 — which on its own would be CATCHING UP. But this team scored 0 on risk & regulatory exposure, and that trips the gate: the verdict is BLINDSIDED, and the first thing to fix is named.

04.The Standard

Breadth earns the score; one blind spot can still sink it.

Weighted, not vibes

Five dimensions, weights summing to 100. A strong area can partly carry a weak one — the total is the honest aggregate of readiness.

The gate is the point

But a 0 on risk/regulatory or competitive awareness forces BLINDSIDED. A fatal blind spot stands on its own, whatever the total.

Repeatable & honest

The engine and workbook agree to the number. Re-run a quarter later; the verdict moves only when a real gap closes.

05.What It Is — And Isn't

A readiness verdict for a team — not a scorecard for a person.

What it is
  • A diagnostic that grades your leadership team's AI preparedness as a group.
  • A facilitated 60-minute briefing plus a five-lesson course to move the verdict.
  • A runnable engine and workbook that agree to the number, for honest re-scoring.
What it isn't
  • A tool that scores or ranks any individual — it grades a team, not a person.
  • Anything for a hiring, performance, or other employment decision.
  • Legal, financial, investment, or compliance advice; confirm regulatory exposure with counsel.
06.Who It's For

Founders and leadership teams making real AI calls.

Founders who suspect they're flying blind on AI and want to know for sure.
Leadership teams who need one honest readout before the next board conversation.
Operators standing up AI governance who want a baseline to improve against.
Advisors and fractional execs running a readiness session with a client.
08.Common Questions

Answers before you buy.

A 60-minute leadership AI-readiness diagnostic. Your leadership team scores its own organization across five weighted dimensions — strategy & business case, spend & ROI visibility, risk & regulatory exposure, team capability & adoption, and competitive & market awareness — and gets one honest verdict: LEADING, CATCHING UP, or BLINDSIDED. It ships a runnable Python engine, a workbook that reproduces it, a facilitator playbook, a five-lesson decision course, and a worked example.

Know where you stand.
Before it knows you don't.

One purchase, lifetime access, 12 months of updates. The briefing, the workbook, two playbooks, and the decision course. $99, once.

Scope: grades a leadership team's preparedness, not any individual; not for any employment decision; not legal, financial, investment, or compliance advice.
