AI Readiness Assessment

Before you invest in tools and training, find out where your team actually stands. Our assessment evaluates tooling, codebase health, workflow maturity, culture, and compliance, and produces a prioritized rollout plan you can act on.

What We Evaluate

Four dimensions of readiness

scored before kickoff

Tooling

Editors, permissions, integrations

Codebase

Type coverage, tests, structure

Workflow

Tickets, reviews, sprint cadence

Culture

Openness, skeptics, leadership buy-in

How We Assess

What the assessment covers

  1. 0106module

    Codebase Audit

    A direct review of your repository: type coverage, test health, build performance, and the architectural patterns that interact with agentic workflows. We work with read-only access; no code leaves your environment.

  2. 0206module

    Workflow Audit

    How tickets become code, where reviews happen, where time is lost, and which parts of your existing workflow will accelerate (or fight) agentic adoption.

  3. 0306module

    Tooling Survey

    A short survey of every engineer covering current tools, pain points, and openness to change. We anonymize and aggregate before reporting back.

  4. 0406module

    Leadership Conversations

    Confidential conversations with engineering leads, product managers, and executives to understand strategic intent, budget realities, and political constraints.

  5. 0506module

    Risk & Compliance Review

    A review of where code lives, what data is sensitive, and which agentic tools are compatible with your privacy, compliance, and IP requirements.

  6. 0606module

    Phased Rollout Plan

    A written report with a prioritized rollout sequence, scoped by impact and effort. Each phase has clear deliverables, exit criteria, and a recommendation on whether to do it solo or with our help.

How It Fits

The assessment as the front door

For most teams, the assessment is the first engagement: it produces the plan that everything else follows. Some teams use the report to execute internally; others bring us back for adoption, training, or both. Either way, the assessment stands on its own.

Self-Check

Ten signals that predict a successful rollout

Walk through these with your engineering leads. The more you can answer yes to, the faster a rollout will compound. The full assessment covers each in depth and produces a written plan.

    01 · Tooling

    Engineers can install IDE extensions and CLI tools without IT escalation.

    Agentic workflows depend on Cursor, Claude Code, and shell-level integrations. Teams that have to file a ticket for every install will struggle.

    02 · Tooling

    The team is on a modern editor (Cursor, VS Code, JetBrains), not a locked-down environment.

    Cursor is the recommended primary editor. Migrating from a heavily locked-down setup adds time but does not block adoption.

    03 · Codebase

    TypeScript covers a meaningful share (>50%) of the codebase, or the team is open to migrating.

    Type information dramatically improves AI agent accuracy. Pure-JavaScript codebases are workable but show lower agent productivity gains.

    04 · Codebase

    The repository has a working test suite the team trusts.

    Agents validate their work by running tests. Without a trustworthy suite, the human review burden is significantly higher.

    05 · Workflow

    Work is tracked in tickets (Linear, Jira, GitHub Issues) with reasonably specific acceptance criteria.

    Vague tickets become vague PRs. Teams that already write clear tickets adopt agentic workflows much faster.

    06 · Workflow

    Pull requests are reviewed before merge, and there is a real review culture.

    Agentic workflows rely on human-in-the-loop review. Teams without an existing review culture need to build one before agents are added.

    07 · Culture

    Engineers are open to changing their daily workflow if the evidence supports it.

    Healthy skepticism is welcome. Hostility to change is the single biggest predictor of failed adoption.

    08 · Culture

    Leadership is willing to invest in measurement and follow-through, not just a one-off pilot.

    Compounding gains take 6–12 weeks to settle in. Teams looking for instant ROI typically abandon the practice before it pays off.

    09 · Compliance

    You have a working understanding of where your code can and cannot be sent (privacy, compliance, IP).

    Most agentic tools send code to third-party APIs. Teams in regulated industries need to understand the data flow before piloting.

    10 · Capacity

    The team can afford 2–4 weeks of partial focus on rollout without missing a release.

    A successful rollout is not free. Teams in firefighting mode should stabilize before adding new tooling.

The full assessment covers these signals in depth, plus the workflow audit, leadership conversations, and risk review. You walk away with a written report and a phased plan.

How We Work

A typical assessment, step by step

A standard assessment runs two to four weeks and ends with a written report and a 60-minute walk-through call.

A 30-minute call to understand goals, scope, and constraints. We confirm fit, agree on access requirements, and lock the timeline.

Read-only repository review and live walkthrough sessions with engineering leads. We document what we see and where the highest-leverage opportunities sit.

Anonymous survey to every engineer plus brief 1:1 calls with key contributors. We surface what the team already believes about agentic tools and what they actually need to ship faster.

Confidential conversations with engineering leads, product managers, and execs to align strategic intent with what the engineering team actually needs to succeed.

A written report covering current readiness, risks, and a phased rollout plan. Includes specific tool recommendations, training priorities, and ROI projections.

A 60-minute call to walk leadership and engineering leads through the report, answer questions, and align on next steps. The report becomes the team's own document afterward.

Phased AI Rollout

Select Interactive: Internal

We assessed our own readiness before adopting agentic AI internally, using the same dimensions and report format we deliver to clients. The phased rollout that followed produced our 3× capacity gain.

3×

Delivery capacity

  • Phased rollout across implementation, testing, and review workflows
  • Capacity validated at each phase gate before moving to the next
  • No sunk-cost commitment to any specific tool or vendor
  • Continuous re-evaluation as the AI landscape shifted

FAQ

Common questions

A workshop is a one-day intro. An assessment is a multi-week diagnostic that produces a written report and rollout plan. Most teams do both: the workshop builds intuition, and the assessment produces the plan.

Yes, but read-only. We sign mutual NDAs before the audit begins, and no code leaves your environment. We document patterns and signals, not snippets.

If that is the right answer, yes. We have told teams to wait, usually because they were in firefighting mode, or because their compliance posture would not support current tools. Our incentive is to be right, not to sell.

Absolutely. The report is yours to execute on. About a third of assessment clients run the rollout internally; the rest bring us back for adoption, training, or both.

Scoped after the discovery call based on team size and depth of audit. We share specific numbers on the first call: no decks, no surprise quotes.
