What is an AI readiness assessment?
An AI readiness assessment is a structured diagnostic that answers two questions: how much AI is reshaping your organization, and how prepared are you to respond? The first measures the scale of disruption. The second measures internal maturity. A complete assessment produces both.
A 10-question online quiz can give you a tier label. A consulting-grade assessment names your peers, scores your specific exposure, maps your organizational gaps and produces a strategy your board can act on. The traditional path to that quality has been a months-long consulting engagement. Mireto delivers the same depth in hours.
The Two Scores
Disruption pressure and internal maturity
Most assessments measure one or the other. A complete readiness view requires both. An organization can be highly mature and still face a high disruption score, because the external forces reshaping its industry are substantial. Equally, an organization may have low exposure but lack the maturity to execute on the opportunities AI is opening up.
External
AI Disruption Score (0-100)
Eight weighted dimensions measuring how much pressure AI is placing on your business model, workforce and competitive position.

AI Maturity Assessment
Six dimensions measuring whether your data, technology, people, governance, culture and strategy can support the AI moves your context demands.
See the six dimensions belowMaturity Model
Six dimensions of AI maturity
The maturity assessment is scored across six dimensions during the strategy workshop. Scores are derived from your responses through deterministic extraction, not an LLM picking numbers, and can be adjusted by you before the strategy is generated.
Data Readiness
Is your data accessible, governed and structured well enough to be useful to AI? Quality, ownership, integration and consent gates matter as much as volume.
Technology Infrastructure
Can your systems integrate AI capabilities at the rate competitors are deploying them? Cloud posture, API surface, vendor lock-in and architectural debt all show up here.
Talent and Skills
Does your workforce have the AI literacy and technical depth to evaluate, deploy and govern AI? This includes leaders, not just engineers.
Governance and Ethics
Are decision rights, accountability frameworks, risk controls and ethical guardrails defined and operating? Often the bottleneck for regulated industries.
Culture and Change Readiness
Will the organization absorb change at the pace AI demands? Past digital transformation outcomes are a strong leading indicator.
Strategic Clarity
Is there a defined AI strategy with executive sponsorship, funded initiatives and measurable outcomes, or is AI a series of disconnected pilots?
Deliverables
What a complete assessment includes
A scan produces the full AI Disruption Snapshot: your Disruption Score, eight-dimension breakdown, ranked threats and opportunities and named peers. The complete AI Strategy assessment adds four new deliverables drafted by six AI Advisors and reviewed by the delivering partner. Each draws on the same underlying data so nothing contradicts itself.
01
AI Disruption Snapshot
The diagnostic. Your AI Disruption Score, the eight dimensions that produced it, named peer benchmarks and the strategic moves to consider first.
02
AI Disruption Analysis
The deep read. Industry context, business model exposure, workforce impact and a stress-tested view of where you are most vulnerable.
03
AI Strategy Canvas
The one-page synthesis. Strategic intent, priority initiatives, capability gaps and the measurable outcomes that define success.
04
AI Transformation Roadmap
The sequenced plan. Initiatives, dependencies, owners, investment sizing and the order they should be executed in.
05
AI Executive Presentation
The board-ready deck. A synthesis of the analysis, canvas and roadmap, formatted for a board or executive read.
Every AI Strategy assessment also includes a signed cover letter and a 90-minute walkthrough. See the AI Strategy hub
Jurisdiction-Aware
Built with real jurisdictional depth
Most AI readiness tools give every organization the same generic answer, regardless of where it operates. Mireto anchors the analysis to your actual jurisdiction: Australian scans are held to Australian regulatory and market context, and US scans use US regulatory context and US data sources. That shows up in where your data lives, how peers are identified, which policy frameworks shape the recommendations and the language used in your deliverables.
Data hosted in your jurisdiction
Scan data is stored in the jurisdiction of the organization being assessed, determined automatically: Australian scans in Supabase on AWS Sydney (ap-southeast-2), US scans in a dedicated US region. AI processing via Anthropic API is not used for model training, per their published commercial terms.
The right privacy regime
Operated by High Impact Group Pty Ltd (ABN 40 682 923 128). Australian scans are handled under the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth); US scans are handled under the FTC and applicable state privacy law.
ABN-verified classification
Australian entities are verified through the Australian Business Register, so industry, entity type and size are derived from authoritative records rather than guessed.
ANZSIC industry weighting
For Australian scans, scoring weights and peer benchmarks are calibrated to the ANZSIC classification system Australian organizations already operate under.
Government policy framework alignment
Public sector assessments are grounded in the policy frameworks for your jurisdiction: the National Framework for Assurance of AI in Government and the DTA Policy for Responsible Use of AI for Australian agencies, or the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and OMB guidance for US federal agencies.
Peers in your market
Peers and case studies are drawn from organizations in your market (Australian for Australian scans, US for US scans), so the comparisons are grounded in what you actually compete against.

The Process
How the assessment runs
01
The platform researches your organization, your peers and your industry, then scores your AI Disruption across eight weighted dimensions.
02
A guided conversation with four AI Advisors who have already studied your scan. Maturity is scored across six dimensions. Documents you upload sharpen the analysis with real numbers.
03
Four new deliverables drafted from the combined scan, workshop and document data: AI Disruption Analysis, AI Strategy Canvas, AI Transformation Roadmap and AI Executive Presentation.
04
Review and sign-off
Before release
The delivering partner reviews the four AI Strategy deliverables before release, with a signed cover letter framing where to focus first.
05
Walkthrough
90 min · Included
A Zoom walkthrough at a time that suits you. Talk through the findings, challenge assumptions and agree your first moves.

Common Questions
AI Readiness Assessment FAQ
What is an AI readiness assessment?
An AI readiness assessment is a structured diagnostic that measures how exposed an organization is to AI disruption and how prepared it is to respond. A complete assessment produces both a score and a strategy, not just a maturity rating.
How is this different from a generic AI readiness quiz?
A 10-question quiz gives you a tier label. A consulting-grade assessment names your peers, scores your specific exposure across eight calibrated dimensions, maps six dimensions of internal maturity and produces the deliverables your board can act on. Every paid assessment is reviewed and signed off by the delivering partner before release.
How long does the assessment take?
The complete AI Strategy assessment includes a 20-30 minute workshop with four AI Advisors, after which the four new deliverables are drafted, pass automated quality review and are reviewed by the delivering partner before release. Typically delivered within 48 hours of the workshop.
Is the assessment suitable for government or not-for-profit organizations?
Yes. Government entities on .gov.au domains trigger a dedicated analysis pipeline grounded in current Australian Government AI policy. Universities, SMEs and not-for-profits each have adapted language, benchmarks and scoring weights so the analysis reflects their operating context.
