Proposed

AI Readiness Check

“Should we be using AI for this at all?”

What is the AI Readiness Check?

Tests a specific piece of work against where AI helps, where it creates risk, and where the honest answer is not yet. Helps an organization decide where AI is appropriate, risky, premature, or unnecessary.

Status
A defined concept or planned pilot that has not launched. The design is written down and nothing has been delivered. Two kinds sit here and the entry itself tells you which: a proposed pilot names its targets, and any target it names is a plan rather than a result; a proposed concept names none because none have been set.

What it does

How it will work.

This describes a tool that does not exist yet. It is proposed, and this is the design rather than a description of something you can open.

  1. 01

    Takes one task rather than the whole organization

  2. 02

    Asks what information the task touches and who is affected by the output

  3. 03

    Separates work that is repetitive and low judgment from work that decides something about a person

  4. 04

    Names the human review step the task would need, and who would do it

  5. 05

    Returns appropriate, risky, premature, or unnecessary, with the reasoning

What you walk away with

Yours, not HxDF's.

Whatever you make with a tool belongs to you. Sending anything to HxDF is always a separate choice.

  • A written answer for one task, with the reason behind it

  • The review step and the policy question that would have to be settled first

  • A record you can repeat for the next task

Your data

Runs without an account and does not ask for details about the people a task affects.

Be clear

What this is not.

Not a tool recommendation and not a readiness score. It answers whether, not which.

Where this connects

If you want to go further.

A tool covers part of the ground. An audit covers the rest, with a person, and costs nothing.

While this is being built

The guides cover the same ground in words, and they are published now.
