AI Readiness
Canvas
The AI Readiness Canvas is my original methodology that scores a company's readiness to implement AI across 7 dimensions and hands you a concrete action plan. No guesswork — before you spend a single dollar.
Why companies
burn through AI budgets
80% of enterprise AI projects never make it past the pilot. Not because the technology doesn't work.
It's because companies don't know what they're not ready for.
They buy tools before they have data. They deploy agents before they have processes. They build infrastructure before they know what they're trying to achieve.
The AI Readiness Canvas is a framework that diagnoses an organization's readiness across 7 dimensions. Before you spend a single dollar on implementation.
