AI Readiness FAQ
How to tell if your firm or portfolio is ready for AI, and what to do if it is not.
What is an AI readiness assessment?
A structured look at how prepared your firm or portfolio company is to deploy AI, scored across five dimensions with specific next steps.
How do you assess AI readiness across a portfolio?
Same assessment across every portfolio company, scored on five dimensions, producing one portfolio-level view and a prioritized action plan.
What are common AI readiness gaps?
Data silos, scattered tool adoption, overestimated data quality, no governance, and no clear AI ownership. These are starting points, not failures.
How long does an AI readiness assessment take?
Two to three weeks for a single firm. Portfolio-wide assessments run in parallel or staggered depending on your timeline.
