What it is

A scoring framework, not a pitch.

The Readiness Compass is IMAGENN.AI's proprietary diagnostic scoring framework. It scores an organization on two axes, Business Goals and Technical Readiness, before an AI implementation engagement is scoped. It is a diagnostic, not a sales call.

The two axes

What the Compass scores.

AI projects stall when the goal is unclear or when the foundations are not ready. The Compass looks at both at once.

Axis 1: Business Goals

  • Clarity. How well defined the problem and the change you want are.

  • Measurable outcomes. Whether success can be expressed in numbers you already track, or can start tracking.

  • Stakeholder alignment. Whether the people who approve, fund and use the result want the same thing.

Axis 2: Technical Readiness

  • Data. The quality, availability and ownership of the data a use case depends on.

  • Systems. How well your current tools and infrastructure connect to new AI workflows.

  • Team. The skills and capacity to adopt and run what gets built.

  • Compliance posture. How your privacy, security and governance practices line up with Canadian requirements such as PIPEDA.

How it feeds scoping

The score sets the shape of your 90 days.

  1. Score

    Every 90-day engagement starts with a Compass score, set before any scope is locked.

  2. Sequence

    The score determines phase sequencing, the order in which the work is done.

  3. Flag

    The score also determines risk flags, so risks are called out in the plan.

Engagements are fixed-scope and PIPEDA-compliant by default, and you retain the IP. See our services for what we build once the score is in.
