What is an AI readiness assessment?

An AI readiness assessment is a short diagnostic that scores how ready your business is to get real value from AI tools: whether your processes are documented well enough to hand to an AI, which tools you’re already using, and where your time is genuinely going. That groundwork matters more than the software itself.

The quick win here comes from your own answers, not a generic list - say invoicing eats your Fridays, and that’s the win you get back, not “try ChatGPT”. Nine quick questions on your admin, marketing and current tool use take about two minutes and also return a score out of 100 and a maturity band, from “early stages” to “already ahead”, set against a typical UK SME starting position. There’s no sales call to sit through first.

What it gives you

The result is built to use, not just read. Your score and band show roughly where you stand, weighed against a typical UK SME starting position - a useful pointer, not a measured comparison. The quick win is drawn from what you actually told us. Leave your email and we’ll send the plan to you, along with a short note on what a fuller assessment would look at next.

What it doesn’t do

The quiz gives you a quick score and one good next step, built from nine questions. The assessment goes deeper: a 60-minute conversation about your specific business, followed by a written report with the setup steps written under the recommendations.

If the quiz shows you’ve got real hours to reclaim and you want that full picture - what to fix first, the actual steps, and the numbers behind it - that’s what the HoursBack Assessment is for, at £799.

Either way, you leave knowing more about where your business stands than you did two minutes ago.

Quick FAQ

Questions about the free readiness assessment.

The quiz is nine questions, takes about two minutes, and gives you a free score, a maturity band, a look at how that sits against a typical UK SME starting position, and one quick win to try this week. The Assessment is a 60-minute conversation about your specific business, followed by a written report with the setup steps written under the recommendations, a video walkthrough, and check-ins at 7 and 30 days.
Your answers feed three sub-scores - admin, marketing and general AI readiness - which combine into an overall score out of 100. That score sits you in one of four bands, from “early stages” through to “already ahead” - fixed thresholds, not a percentile of other businesses’ answers. It’s a quick read built from nine questions instead of a full conversation about your business, so treat the band as a useful pointer rather than a precise measurement.
Yes, it’s genuinely free, and yes, we’d like you to book the £799 Assessment afterwards if it’s the right next step - that’s how we find people who want the deeper version. Your score and band show on screen straight away, at no cost. The full breakdown and your quick win unlock once you leave your email, which is the only thing behind that gate. You’ll see the paid option on your results screen, and nothing further happens unless you choose to act on it.
