AI Readiness — Processes, Data, Systems, Culture
A good use case pointed at an unready organization still fails — it just fails more expensively. Before building, the honest question is whether the organization can actually support what you're about to build: are the processes understood, is the data reachable and trustworthy, can the systems integrate, and will the people use it? Readiness assessment is the least glamorous stage of the adoption lifecycle and the one that most reliably predicts the outcome.

The honest assessment across four pillars: processes mapped as they actually run, data that's reachable and trustworthy, systems that can be integrated with, and a culture that will actually use the thing. The output is a gap list that becomes the roadmap.
