The AI readiness model is based on four functional areas that form the critical foundations for an AI-driven enterprise: strategy, organization, technology-operations, and data.

Each area contains a detailed set of criteria and associated questions designed to assess AI maturity.

Strategy identifies the state and nature of an enterprise’s plan of action and roadmap to support AI.
Organization examines how culturally and organizationally ready an enterprise is to support AI and harness it for business transformation.
Technology-Operations explores the different AI technologies and capabilities being leveraged by the enterprise, and how the enterprise is implementing AI solutions across core operational elements.
Data assesses the state and availability of an enterprise's data assets and its analytics capabilities, which are crucial for successful AI deployment.
