Your answers provide the business context for the report. AI helps interpret that information and draft a suggested next step. Recommendations are proposals for your review; tool exposure, current access, and suitability are treated as separate questions.
1. What the form collects
The assessment asks about your business and how you work with AI today. Nothing is inspected, imported or measured; every input is something you type or select.
- Contact details. Your name, email address and phone number, and your preferred method of contact. Your email is what we use to deliver the report.
- Business context. What best describes you, your primary focus, and your current monthly revenue range.
- Current AI use. How you would describe your AI usage today, and which categories of tool you have used. A free-text field captures anything not on the list.
- What is difficult. Your biggest frustration with AI right now, with a free-text field for describing it in your own words.
- What you want help with. Your top goals, with a free-text field, plus what “AI working for you” would look like in 90 days.
- Your capacity. How much time you can invest weekly in building AI skills, and what is most likely to stop you going further.
The free-text fields are where detail changes the output. A described task with its steps can support a drafted checklist or recap. A broad goal supports a focused starting exercise instead.
2. How answers are interpreted
Everything in your report is self-reported. The report reads your answers and keeps several things deliberately separate, because conflating them is how a report starts telling you something you didn’t say:
- How often you use AI is kept separate from which categories of tool you have been exposed to. Ticking a box says you have used that category, not that you use it now.
- Exposure is kept separate from current access. Having used something once is not having it today.
- Access is kept separate from suitability. Having a tool says nothing about whether it fits the work you described.
- Weekly learning time is read as time available to learn, not as capacity to implement.
- A frustration is read as a difficulty you are having, never converted into something you are asking for.
Tools you name in a free-text field are carried through as you wrote them, including spelling. Where you have stated your access situation, the report reports it; where you haven’t, it says so rather than guessing.
3. How one suggested focus is selected
Your report recommends one focus, not a list, because a list is what you already have. It is chosen in this order:
- An output you explicitly asked for, where you also supplied the material it needs.
- A specific task or friction you described in free text.
- A goal you selected that can be explored privately, with little setup.
- Where none of those is present, a statement that helps you identify the first missing piece.
The goals you selected decide the kind of work recommended. Your business type and focus are treated as background context, not as goals. Where two options fit equally, the one needing less setup and fewer external consequences is chosen.
4. How much gets drafted
| What you supplied | What the report drafts |
|---|---|
| A named output and the material for it — for example a checklist, plus the steps you follow today | That output, written in full, preserving every action, condition and human review point you supplied, in your own words. Your task is to review and correct it. |
| A specific task, but some facts missing | The supported parts drafted, with the first missing fact marked for you to fill in, and a note identifying which one to resolve first. |
| A broad goal with no named task | A partially completed starting statement and one specific question, sized to the learning time you reported. |
This is why the entry page asks you to name the task and include the steps when you have them. It is the single biggest difference between reports.
5. How unknowns stay visible
Where your answers don’t establish something, the report says so instead of filling the space. In practice that means:
- Facts you did not supply are marked for you to clarify, rather than invented.
- Recommendations are identified as suggestions, so you can tell them apart from what you reported.
- The report states what the exercise does not establish — demand, time saved, error rates, results from automation — where those limits apply to the work suggested.
- Where you have not assessed whether a tool suits your work, that stays an open question rather than becoming an endorsement.
6. Why you review the wording
Your report is generated by an AI-enabled service provider working from your answers within a fixed structure: the six sections, the five brief fields, and the rules above are set by us, not improvised per report. The wording itself is generated.
Generated wording can misread an answer. That is why every report hands you a draft to review rather than an instruction to follow, why it carries two observable checks you apply yourself, and why it names one open question rather than closing every loop. Treat the draft as a proposal from someone who has only read your form.
Each report is generated within a fixed structure and includes two review checks for you to apply. Review the draft against the answers you supplied before using it. If the report misreads your answers, omits an output you requested and supplied the material for, or provides an unusable draft, contact support and we’ll correct and reissue it at no charge.
7. What the report does not provide
- An AI-readiness certification or score
- A complete AI strategy
- An implementation engagement, project plan or transformation roadmap
- A legal, compliance, privacy or cybersecurity audit
- Vendor selection or procurement guidance
- Any inspection or verification of your systems, data or safeguards
- A guarantee of savings, productivity, revenue, adoption or business outcomes
8. How to request a correction
If your report misreads one of your answers, leaves out content you asked for, gives you a draft you can’t use, or shows incorrect account information such as your name, email address or business name, Get Assessment Support and tell us what’s wrong. Include your order number; you don’t need to resend your answers.
What we’ll do: we’ll correct the problem and reissue your report at no charge. Interpretations reflect the answers you submitted, so they change when we’ve misread them or when something you asked for was left out.
