AI Readiness Test

24 statements, about six minutes. You see your result straight away and can then download a detailed report as a PDF, without signing up and without an email address.

The test shows where your organisation stands on AI: in strategy, data, technology, people, processes and accountability. Your answers stay in your browser. Only when you request the report are they sent once to our server in Germany, turned into the report there and not stored. No AI provider is involved.

About your organisation (optional)

These details make the report more relevant, for example in the legal notes and examples. You can leave any field empty.

1. Strategy & Value

Our (planned) AI projects are linked to clear business or administrative goals.

One or more named people drive AI forward, can make decisions on their own and have the time they need for it.

We clearly prioritise possible AI use cases by benefit and effort, so it is clear where we start.

Our leadership visibly stands behind the use of AI and gives it backing and priority.

2. Data & Knowledge Base

The data needed for our use cases exists and is accessible.

Our data is classified by protection needs, for example public, internal, personal or especially sensitive.

The quality of our relevant data is sufficient, that is, current, complete and accurate enough.

We make key information from unstructured sources (documents, emails, scans, project files) usable and transfer it into organisation-wide knowledge management, so that people and AI across the organisation can access it later.

3. Technology & Digital Sovereignty

We know where our AI data is processed and could guarantee on-premises or EU operation if needed.

Our dependence on a single provider is low, and switching would be possible with reasonable effort.

We know local or open alternatives to cloud AI and could use them if needed.

Our AI systems are technically secured, for example against unauthorised access, data leakage and manipulated inputs (prompt injection).

4. People & Enablement

Our staff generally know what AI is good for and where its limits lie.

Where necessary, a person checks AI results before they take effect.

Our staff are trained in using AI safely, including with regard to legal requirements.

The attitude towards AI is open, and reservations are actively addressed.

5. Processes & Operations

The processes concerned are documented well enough to identify automation potential.

We can move AI solutions from pilot into monitored day-to-day operation.

We concentrate on one clearly defined first use case instead of many parallel initiatives.

We have a fixed procedure for AI incidents and a fallback plan in case a system fails or works incorrectly.

6. Accountability & Compliance

We know which EU AI Act risk category our use cases fall into.

We ensure that no personal data enters AI systems unlawfully.

Roles and responsibilities for AI are defined, for example who approves AI and who is accountable for it.

We check new AI tools for data protection and compliance before use, including tools used on personal accounts (shadow AI).
