Field Workbook6-page fillable PDF

Know in an afternoon whether your organization can actually build with AI.

A fill-in audit tool — 6 domains, 44 checkpoints — that gives you an honest, scored read on your AI readiness before you spend a dollar on models.

  • 44 concrete checkpoints across data, infrastructure, security, talent, use-cases, and operating model.
  • A 1–5 maturity score per domain — and a total that maps to a readiness tier telling you where to invest first.
  • A workbook you fill in with your team, not a poster: real checkboxes, a scoring key, and results interpretation.
  • Empty boxes become your backlog — a candid map of the gaps, not a grade to perform for.

What’s inside

Six domains. Forty-four checkpoints. One honest score.

Readiness is cross-functional — bring data, IT, security, and a business owner to the table. For each domain you tick what’s true today, score it 1–5 on the maturity scale, then total the six to read your tier and recommended next moves.

01

Data Foundation

Is the data that would feed AI known, trusted, governed, and reachable — with owners and lineage?

02

Infrastructure & Compute

Can your compute, environments, and cost controls carry AI workloads’ different appetites?

03

Security & Governance

Are access, oversight, and risk controls ready for models that touch sensitive data?

04

Talent & Skills

Do you have — or can you reach — the people to build, run, and adopt what you deploy?

05

Use-Case & Value

Are you targeting problems where AI creates measurable value, not novelty projects?

06

Operating Model

Can you move a use case from pilot to production and keep it governed and owned?

Who it’s for

For teams about to commit real money to an AI initiative.

Best done as a group in a single working session. A solo guess isn’t an audit — readiness is cross-functional, and the honest low scores are exactly the signals that tell you where to start.

A tool, not a lead-gen quiz.

This is a genuine self-assessment you keep and reuse — no score is sent anywhere, and there’s no “passing grade.” DataExos is a cloud, AI & data partner; if the audit surfaces gaps you’d like help closing, we’re here — but the workbook stands on its own.

Before you download

A few honest answers

Do I have to talk to sales to use it?

No. It’s a fillable PDF you work through privately with your team. Nothing you write in it is transmitted to DataExos.

How long does the assessment take?

Most teams get through all six domains in an afternoon. Doing it together — data, IT, security, and a business owner — is what makes the score trustworthy.

What do I get at the end?

A per-domain maturity score, a total that maps to a readiness tier, and a plain-language interpretation of what to prioritize first.
