02  The framework

Scored across the six systems that make AI work

Your score measures the six operating systems that decide whether AI takes hold in a business like yours. The weakest one is usually where your first move lives, and your report names it.

  1. Direction

    AI strategy, vision, and which use cases come first.

  2. People and Agents

    Roles, skills, and adoption across your team.

  3. Company Brain

    The data and knowledge your AI can actually reach.

  4. Guardrails

    Governance, security, and policy that close down shadow AI.

  5. Workflows

    Process redesign and the tooling that carries it.

  6. Yield

    Measurement, ROI, and the operating rhythm that sustains results.

03  Real client numbers

The numbers behind the scoring

These results came from the same six-systems lens your assessment uses. Each one started with a clear read on which system to fix first.

Workflows 6 to 10 hours reclaimed every week

An equipment distributor now reclaims 6 to 10 hours a week on purchase-order reviews alone.

Company Brain 12 → 1 hours on one recurring task

A building automation firm cut a recurring 12-hour data task down to 1 hour.

People and Agents 3 to 8 hours saved per person, per week

Cohort participants report saving 3 to 8 hours per person every week with practical AI in daily work.

The misjudgment in the headline shows up in the scoring too. One recent owner self-rated 3 out of 10 and came back at 5.7, and the system behind that gap became the first move. Your report surfaces the same thing for your business: which gain is closest for you and what stands in the way.
