Five-Dimension AI Readiness Assessment: framework reference brief

Abstract

85% of AI deployment failures trace back to a gap in one of five operational dimensions, not the AI technology itself. The Five-Dimension AI Readiness Assessment identifies the blocker before budget is committed. Five operational dimensions, scored 1–4, that predict AI deployment failure before any budget is committed. A single low score blocks the initiative regardless of the others.
