AI Readiness Diagnostic

Scores a client's AI marketing maturity across five domains with 41 yes/no items, places them on a step of the AI Marketing Canvas (Venkatesan and Lecinski, 2026) and gives a prioritised 90-day plan a non-technical business owner can act on.

Use When

• Are we ready for AI? Score our marketing maturity across data, team, tools and processes before we buy anything.
• Our customer data sits in WhatsApp chats, Facebook DMs, Excel sheets and an old CRM; run the hygiene checklist and a 30-day clean-up plan before connecting AI tools.
• A larger client needs a 90-day data foundation plan: data asset inventory, quality scorecard, minimum viable customer schema and Uganda Data Protection and Privacy Act 2019 consent.
• Complete the AI Marketing Canvas across acquisition, retention, growth and advocacy and turn it into a 12-month quarterly AI roadmap.

Do Not Use When

• ai-use-case-mapping for deciding which marketing tasks AI should take on and in what order.
• meta-tools-stack-evaluation for comparing and scoring specific AI tools or vendors.
• training-ai-foundations for teaching the team to use AI.
• Stop before any AI tool is connected to customer data that lacks a lawful basis, consent or an accountable owner; deliver the remediation plan instead.
