02 · AI maturity
AI-native has a bar. See where your team stands.
We grade how your team is equipped for AI across people, process, and technology, on the evidence. You get three to five insights your owners act on, starting with the one constraint holding the rest back.
For the leader accountable for what a team’s AI investments deliver.

- AI maturity
- 34 of 100 · Individual
- Your leaders rated it 65 before we graded
- Range 32 to 34, scored on 14 of 15 elements
- Where the team stands
- Individual
- Exists as personal effort; it leaves when the person does
- AI-native: every scored element at Standard or above
- People
- 35 · Individual
- Can your people do AI-native work?
- The lowest is judgment, at Individual
- Process
- 27 · Individual
- Is the work itself AI-native?
- The binding constraint sits here
- Technology
- 40 · Pockets
- Does the substrate carry the work?
- Agents is unknown, so it stays out of the score, never counted as zero
- Why this comes first
- Verification design (PR3) · Individual
- No AI-assisted output has a designed check; quality depends on whoever looks
- Named by a written rule: the floor element, with ties going to the prerequisite
- Without us, this week
- List the output types Content ships, and who looks at each before it goes out
- The next move
- One state up: Individual to Pockets
- Content first; Performance follows at the first gate
- Your owner, your date
- Head of Content, by 4 Dec
- Set by your owners in the working session: accept, change, or schedule
- How you'll know
- Published errors traced to unchecked drafts
- From your own records
What you leave with
- 01
Three to five insights.
Each with its evidence, the next move, an owner, a date, and how you’ll know it worked.
- 02
A score that points to the first move.
Out of 100, with the constraint printed beside it and a range showing how firm it is.
- 03
Team by team, and person by person if you choose.
Patterns show for teams of five or more, and each person sees only their own results.
- 04
A scorecard you own.
Your steward runs it in your own forums, and every 90 days we verify progress against the evidence.
Our view
Every element, against the AI-native bar.

How it runs
- Your sponsor writes the goal and names a steward.
- Your leaders rate themselves first.
- We grade the evidence: interviews, a survey, usage logs, and the work itself.
- Your function leads can challenge any finding with evidence.
- Your owners decide each move in one working session.
- Your steward runs the scorecard, and every 90 days we verify and re-score.
You own
The program, every decision, and the results.
We carry
The evidence, the grade, and the check every 90 days.
What sets the scope
- How much of the business is in it.
- How many AI investments we read.
- What evidence you can share.
- Team by team, or person by person.
How the score works
- Graded on evidence. A claim that rests on testimony alone scores low until the work shows it.
- Unknowns stay unknown. We print what the score covers, element by element.
- A range beside the number, so you see how firm it is.
- The market reference comes from published studies, labelled with its source and compared like for like.
- The score points to the first move. The insights carry the judgment.
What stays private
Who said what stays private. Person by person is opt-in, each person sees only their own results, and nothing is used for hiring, rating, or promotion.
