AI Readiness Assessment

When Everyone Is Investing in AI,
How Do You Know If Your Organization Is Ready?

92% of companies are increasing AI investment. Only 1% are AI-mature. MAIV's scientifically validated assessment measures your readiness across 7 dimensions — from individual skills to organizational culture.

The AI Readiness Gap Is a $5.5 Trillion Problem

Organizations are pouring money into AI without knowing if their people, processes, or culture can actually absorb it. The result? Failed pilots, wasted budgets, and teams that fall further behind.

The MAIV Framework

7 Dimensions of AI Readiness

We don't just ask if you use AI. We measure whether your people, processes, culture, and infrastructure are ready to make AI deliver real value.

AI Literacy & Applied Capability

Can your people actually use AI effectively — or just talk about it? We measure demonstrated ability, not abstract knowledge.

  • Prompt engineering proficiency
  • Tool selection and evaluation
  • Output quality assessment
  • Workflow integration capability

AI Collaboration Readiness

How well do your teams work with AI as a partner? We assess human-AI collaboration patterns and identify shadow AI usage.

  • Human-AI workflow integration
  • Cross-functional AI collaboration
  • Shadow AI usage patterns
  • Knowledge sharing practices

Learning & Development Maturity

It's not just what your team knows — it's how your organization learns. We measure the system, not just the snapshot.

  • Training program structure
  • Skill progression pathways
  • Learning velocity tracking
  • Continuous development culture

Data & Technology Infrastructure

Is your data agent-ready or still siloed? We assess data maturity, governance, and infrastructure readiness for AI workloads.

  • Data unification and quality
  • Agent-readiness posture
  • Infrastructure scalability
  • Tool ecosystem coherence

Strategy & Governance

Do you have an AI strategy — or just a collection of experiments? We measure strategic alignment, investment coherence, and governance maturity.

  • AI vision and roadmap clarity
  • Investment alignment
  • Ethical AI and compliance
  • Risk classification and monitoring

Culture & Change Readiness

The biggest AI failure isn't technical — it's cultural. We quantify your organization's appetite for change and experimentation.

  • Experimentation tolerance
  • Psychological safety for AI adoption
  • Change management capacity
  • Cross-functional support

Leadership & Organizational Alignment

Leadership says AI is a priority. The team disagrees. We measure the perception gap that predicts transformation failure.

How It Works

From assessment to action plan in three steps. No consultants, no six-month engagement — just clarity.

1

Assess

Take a scientifically validated assessment covering 7 dimensions of AI readiness — from individual skills to organizational culture. Adaptive testing adjusts to your level in real time.

2

Analyze

Get your AI Readiness Index score with dimension-level breakdowns, benchmarked against industry peers. Identify exactly where your gaps are — and which ones matter most.

3

Act

Receive a prioritized action plan mapped directly to MAIV training programs, workshops, and resources. Every gap maps to a concrete next step.

Why MAIV

What Makes This Assessment Different

Most AI readiness tools are either enterprise-only and expensive, or free and shallow. MAIV is built to deliver scientific rigor at every price point.

Individual + Organizational Assessment

We assess both individual skills and organizational readiness in a single unified framework. No one else does both.

Cisco and Superintelligent do org only. Workera does individual only.

Psychometric Validation

Our assessments use Item Response Theory and Computerized Adaptive Testing — the same science behind standardized tests. Not a buzzfeed quiz.

Only Workera matches this rigor. Cisco, Superintelligent, and others have zero published validity evidence.

7-Dimension Model

We measure across 7 dimensions including L&D maturity and culture — areas others miss entirely. Our framework maps cleanly to the Cisco 6-pillar standard while going deeper.

Superintelligent uses 3 axes. Cisco uses 6 pillars but no individual assessment.

Leadership Perception Gap Index

We quantify the disconnect between what leadership thinks and what the team experiences. McKinsey found this gap predicts transformation failure.

No competitor measures this quantitatively.

Accessible Pricing

From free self-assessments to enterprise plans. Genuine scientific rigor at every tier — not just for Fortune 500 budgets.

Workera and Superintelligent are enterprise-only. Cisco is free but shallow.

Action-Mapped Results

Every gap identified maps directly to a specific MAIV training program, workshop, or resource. Assessment results drive action, not just reports.

Cisco identifies gaps but doesn't map to interventions. Workera maps to generic learning paths.

Built for Every Level of Your Organization

The biggest AI readiness blind spot? The gap between what leadership thinks and what the team experiences. MAIV captures both.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the AI Readiness Assessment.

The individual assessment takes 15-20 minutes. It uses adaptive testing that adjusts difficulty based on your responses, so no two assessments are exactly alike. Organizational assessments include multi-stakeholder inputs and typically take 1-2 weeks to complete across your team.

You receive an AI Readiness Index score (0-100) with breakdowns across all 7 dimensions, benchmarked against industry peers. For organizations, you also get a Leadership Perception Gap analysis, team-level heatmaps, and a prioritized action plan mapped to specific MAIV programs.

The free individual assessment gives you a genuine AI Readiness Index score with dimension-level breakdowns. It uses the same psychometric engine as our paid tiers. The difference is depth: paid tiers add organizational assessment, team benchmarking, and action mapping.

Most tools are either enterprise-only and expensive, or free and shallow. MAIV is the only platform that combines individual skills assessment with organizational readiness measurement using psychometric validation — at accessible price points. We also map every gap directly to training interventions.

Yes. Our organizational assessment uses multi-stakeholder inputs — executives, HR, IT, managers, and individual contributors — to build a complete picture. We cross-validate responses across levels to identify perception gaps that predict AI transformation failure.

We recommend quarterly reassessment to track your AI readiness trajectory. Unlike snapshot assessments, MAIV tracks learning velocity — how fast your team is improving — and benchmarks it against cohort progress. This turns a one-time score into a continuous improvement metric.
