## What Is This Tool?

360 AI Ready is the first 360-degree AI readiness benchmark for organizations. It helps leaders discover blind spots in their organization's AI readiness by capturing perspectives from multiple stakeholder groups — leadership, staff, and end-users — and identifying perception gaps between what leaders believe and what's actually happening on the ground.

The platform serves 4 distinct organizational segments, each with tailored questions, scoring dimensions, and benchmarks:
1. Universities
2. Career Centers
3. NGOs / Nonprofits
4. Companies / Enterprises

## The Problem It Solves

Most AI initiatives fail not because of technology, but because of misalignment. Leaders often overestimate their organization's readiness. Staff may see gaps that leadership doesn't. Without a structured way to compare these perspectives, organizations waste budget, lose trust, and deploy AI that nobody uses.

360 AI Ready quantifies this misalignment across 6 critical dimensions and produces an actionable roadmap to close the gaps.

## How It Works

### Step 1: Leader Self-Assessment (10–20 minutes)
The leader selects their organization type and answers 20–27 tailored questions across 6 dimensions. Questions are a mix of multiple choice, scale ratings, and checkbox selections. Each question maps to a specific readiness dimension.

### Step 2: Stakeholder Surveys (3–8 minutes each, optional)
The leader invites stakeholders via unique anonymous links. Depending on the segment:
- **University**: Faculty/Staff (7 questions) + Students (8 questions)
- **Career Center**: Advisors (13 questions) + Students (5 questions)
- **NGO**: Field Staff (8 questions) + Board/Funders (7 questions)
- **Company**: Managers/Team Leads (8 questions) + Employees (7 questions)

Stakeholder responses are anonymous and use simple 1–5 scale ratings.

### Step 3: AI-Generated Report (instant)
The system generates a comprehensive report including:
- **Overall readiness score** (0–100) with segment-specific benchmarks
- **Dimension-by-dimension breakdown** with visual radar chart
- **Perception gap analysis**: leader vs. staff vs. end-users
- **Red flag detection** for critical organizational risks
- **AI-generated executive summary** with gap analysis and priority actions
- **90-day prioritized action roadmap**
- **Downloadable PDF report** with full benchmarking data

## Scoring Methodology

- Each question maps to one of 6 dimensions
- Radio questions use fixed point values based on answer choice
- Checkbox questions use count-based scoring tables
- Dimension scores are normalized to 0–100 scale
- Some segments use weighted dimension scores for the overall readiness score
- Red flags are detected for critical gaps (e.g., no SSO, negative staff sentiment, budget misalignment)
- Readiness levels are segment-specific and map to score ranges

## Pricing Model

- **Free tier**: Complete assessment, basic readiness score, dimension breakdown — no account required
- **Full report**: AI-powered executive summary, detailed gap analysis, peer benchmarks, PDF export — requires a free verified account
