Data and AI readiness

Start with a business decision that needs better information. Assess data quality and governance before building models or assistants.

AI interest outpaces data readiness. Without a clear decision, success measure and data boundary, pilots create noise rather than value.

What we would examine or change

The decision

Name the business decision better information should improve.

Candidate data

Identify sources that could support that decision.

Quality checks

Assess completeness, conflicts and ownership.

Access boundaries

Define what may be used and by whom.

Evaluation and human review

Agree how usefulness is judged and when a person must intervene.

Deliverables and the decisions they support

Readiness findings

States whether the data and process can support the intended decision.

Prioritised use-case advice

Orders practical next steps or an explicit pause.

Data and governance gaps list

Shows what must improve before a pilot is worthwhile.

Pilot plan or an explicit “not yet” recommendation

Avoids building when a simpler fix is enough.

Illustrative example

Illustrative readiness outcome

Three possible recommendations after review — illustrative paths, not a guaranteed result.

  • Bounded pilot — Proceed with a narrow use case, clear success measures and human review.
  • Improve foundations first — Fix data quality, ownership or access before building.
  • Simpler process or reporting solution — Use a non-AI improvement when it solves the decision faster.

Illustrative: an internal assistant limited to approved documents, with every answer reviewed before it affects a customer or regulated decision.

Possible success measures

  • Task usefulness
  • Error rate
  • Review effort
  • Data completeness — defined for the use case

Working together

Your involvement

A business owner for the decision, access to candidate data sources, and agreement on review boundaries.

Scope boundaries

AI is not always necessary. We will say so when a simpler process or reporting fix is enough.

Start with clarity.
