This self-assessment is a practical starting point for small business owners who want to understand where they stand with AI  - before committing time, budget, or organizational energy to any implementation.
It covers four critical dimensions that determine whether AI adoption will create real value or create real problems for your business. This self-assessment is intentionally lightweight. It is designed to surface patterns and gaps - not to replace the depth of analysis that a professional audit provides. If your score reveals significant gaps, that is valuable information, not a verdict. This tool does not provide an AI roadmap, ROI projections or implementation prioritization recommendations. What you will get in 15-20 min is:   - a clear snapshot of your current AI readiness; - identification of your strongest and weakest dimensions; - a score that signals where to focus first; and a context to have a more informed conversation with advisors.
