Readiness Assessment · $150 · One workflow

Buy judgment, not hope.

Bring Readable one consequential workflow. In about seven minutes, Read / co-pilot structures your evidence and scores it against a published rubric — eight dimensions, deterministic, no human required.

You get an instant measured report: a verdict, every dimension scored with your own answers cited as evidence, and a recommended intervention.

How it works

Six steps. Zero waiting on a human.

  1. You describe the problem. In your own words, in open conversation with Read / co-pilot.
  2. Readable structures the evidence. Your answers become a structured packet: the workflow, where AI touches it, who decides, how outputs are checked, what happens when it fails.
  3. The readiness assessment. The packet is scored against the published rubric — eight dimensions, 0 to 2 each, same answers always produce the same score.
  4. Recommended intervention. The verdict prescribes the next move: a Sprint, the Academy, or go build — with the reasoning shown.
  5. Measured report. Delivered instantly: verdict, dimension scores with your answers cited, your 90-day measurement plan, methodology.
  6. Audit & calibration. Sampled human audits run behind the scenes to keep the rubric honest. They never gate your report — the money moves while everyone sleeps.

The rubric is public · v1.0

Here is exactly how you will be scored.

Derived from the Practical AI Readiness capstone objectives (Objectives 1–3: evaluate appropriateness, design the workflow, evaluate outputs against evidence). Each dimension scores 0 (absent), 1 (partial), or 2 (solid). Maximum 16.

D1 · Problem boundedness

Solid looks like: one workflow with a clear start and end.

D2 · Measurable outcome

Solid looks like: the intended outcome stated with a number or a date.

D3 · AI-task fit

Solid looks like: AI proposes; a human disposes. AI's role matches what AI does well.

D4 · Alternative weighed

Solid looks like: a non-AI (or simpler) approach was weighed and rejected for a reason.

D5 · Inputs & data boundaries

Solid looks like: authorized inputs are defined; sensitive data is excluded or governed.

D6 · Human authority

Solid looks like: a named human holds final decision authority.

D7 · Acceptance & verification

Solid looks like: written, checkable acceptance criteria; outputs verified against evidence.

D8 · Failure handling & output discipline

Solid looks like: a documented exception path; outputs are accepted, revised, rejected, or escalated — never auto-accepted.

Why you can believe the verdict

We don't ask for your trust.

A diagnostic that always prescribes the expensive engagement is a coupon, not a judgment. So the honesty is structural:

The rubric is public

You just read it. Every dimension, every criterion, the verdict bands — nothing hidden.

Scoring is deterministic

The same answers always produce the same score. Versioned, auditable, reproducible.

Every report shows its work

Each dimension score cites your own answer as evidence. You can check the math.

The results are public

The aggregate verdict distribution is published after the first 25 assessments and updated monthly. If every report said “buy a Sprint,” the distribution would prove it.

Sampled human audits

Audits calibrate the rubric behind the scenes. They never gate your report.

Honest labeling

Every report states what it is: machine-scored from a published rubric. Not a consulting engagement.

Clear answers before you begin

Frequently asked questions.

Is this consulting?

No. It is a machine-scored diagnostic against a published rubric, built from the Practical AI Readiness capstone objectives. It tells you where you stand and what to do next — it does not replace working with a human on a complex engagement.

Who is it for?

Owner-led businesses and teams with one workflow they are considering (or already running) with AI — and who want an honest verdict before investing further.

What exactly do I receive?

A measured report: a verdict (Ready / Ready with safeguards / Not ready), all eight dimensions scored with your answers cited as evidence, a recommended intervention with reasoning, your structured workflow evidence back, and a 90-day measurement plan.

What if the verdict is “not ready”?

You get the gap list — which doubles as the brief for a Business Visibility Sprint ($2,500), the engagement that extracts and designs the workflow properly. The assessment fee does not apply to the Sprint; the assessment did the discovery the Sprint would have charged for.

Can the rubric really be deterministic?

The scoring is: fixed questions, fixed scoring criteria, fixed verdict bands. Two buyers with the same answers get the same score. What the rubric cannot do is verify that your answers describe reality — answer honestly and it will treat you honestly.

Do I have to talk to anyone?

No. That is the point. Pay, answer, receive the report. If your verdict prescribes a Sprint or the Academy, a human enters the picture then — on your terms.
