Venture Toolkit

Corporate Venture & AI Readiness Diagnostic

Most AI and venture programmes don't fail on the idea. They fail on the organisation around it. Five minutes to find out where yours would give way.

The AI Readiness Diagnostic on its first dimension, Strategy and Mandate, with statements rated from Not at all to Fully

What it measures

Twenty-two statements across five weighted dimensions: strategy and mandate, operating model and governance, data and technology, talent and capabilities, and AI deployment and value. You rate each one honestly; the tool does the arithmetic.

What you get back

A score out of 100 and one of four bands, from Nascent to Leading. More useful than the score: your strongest foundation, the binding constraint that would stall everything else, and a short recommendation for each gap.

The result is on screen straight away, and you can have the readout sent by email.

How to read it

The score is a snapshot, not a verdict. Two organisations at 60 can need opposite things: one has the mandate and no data, the other has the data and nobody with the authority to act on it. The diagnostic is built to tell them apart, because the fix is different.

Who it is for

Leaders of innovation, strategy or digital units, and the executives who fund them, before committing budget to a new venture or an AI programme.

Why these tools exist: the case for de-risking before you build

One dimension lower than you expected?

A 30-minute call is enough to see what it would take to move it.
