The scoring rubric
8–11 checks
You're ready for The Adoption Sprint. The conditions are right. Pick the most painful repeatable workflow and rebuild it with AI in six to ten weeks. And if you're already past a first rollout, The Embedded Partner is how it keeps growing.
5–7 checks
Start with The Diagnostic. There are foundations to address before a full rollout — usually around documentation or champion selection. Two weeks to map the right starting point.
Under 5 checks
Start with the basics. Pick one tool, get one person trained, document one workflow. We can help, but six months of self-paced fundamentals will usually serve you better first.
A note on the score

This isn't a precision instrument. It's a mirror.

If you scored a 6 but you know exactly the workflow you'd hand to AI and you have a champion ready to go — book the Sprint anyway.

If you scored a 9 but no one on your team actually wants this — the Diagnostic conversation might surface that and save you from a misfire.

The point of this assessment is to make the conversation with us, or anyone else, sharper. It's not a gate.
