40 calibrated questions — scored, benchmarked, and explained

A Diagnostic That Pays for Itself Before You Even Start the Engagement

Whether you're a fractional CTO, IT advisor, or business transformation consultant — a structured AI readiness assessment before an engagement is table stakes.

🎯

Assess Client Readiness Before the Engagement

Stop discovering AI blockers six weeks in. Send clients the assessment link before your first paid hour. Walk into every engagement knowing exactly where the gaps are — strategy, data, culture, or governance.

📊

Data-Driven Recommendations That Back Your Advisory

Your advice carries more weight when it's grounded in scored data your client generated themselves. The report shows domain-by-domain scores, industry benchmarks, and prioritized recommendations — aligned with what you already know to be true.

💼

A Lightweight, Billable Touchpoint

Use the assessment as a discovery deliverable, a standalone diagnostic product, or a proposal qualifier. At $27 per client report, the economics are trivial — the signal you get from the results is not.

They Complete the 40-Question Assessment

Questions span 7 domains and take 5–10 minutes. Answers are honest — it's calibrated to surface real gaps, not score-maximize for appearances.

You Both Get AI Strategy Recommendations

Results include domain scores, an overall readiness rating, gap analysis, and prioritized recommendations you can use directly in your engagement plan.

7 Domains. No Gaps.

The assessment was built to surface the real AI blockers in SMBs — not the obvious ones every free quiz catches.

Domain 1

Strategy & Leadership

Is AI on the leadership agenda? Does the company have a coherent AI strategy, executive sponsorship, and a clear link to business goals?

Domain 2

Data & Infrastructure

Data quality, accessibility, and governance. Are the data systems AI-ready, or is there foundational work that blocks every AI initiative?

Domain 3

Processes & Workflows

How documented, repeatable, and instrumented are core processes? AI amplifies good processes and exposes broken ones.

Domain 4

People & Culture

Team AI literacy, change management capacity, and whether the organization culture will resist or embrace AI adoption.

Domain 5

Technology & Tools

Current tech stack compatibility, integration readiness, and whether existing tools already support — or undermine — AI adoption.

Domain 6

Risk & Governance

Legal exposure, compliance requirements, AI use policy, and data privacy maturity. Often the domain most SMBs ignore until it's too late.

Domain 7

Customer & Market

Competitive pressure, customer expectations around AI, and whether AI adoption is a defensive necessity or offensive opportunity.

Why 7 domains? Free AI readiness quizzes typically test 1–2 dimensions (usually "have you used ChatGPT?"). Mainspring's 40 questions were designed to surface the specific blockers that derail real AI projects — the kind consultants discover 6 weeks into an engagement. The report gives you a head start.
