Check whether your AI workflow is ready for production.

Answer 18 questions in 6 areas. You get a verdict, a risk register, a 30/60/90 day plan and a PDF. It is a self-assessment, not an audit or a certificate. Unknown is a valid answer: it scores zero and goes into the evidence gaps.

What you get back

Sample answers, not a real assessment

What the scan returns when every question is answered with its third option, a team part of the way there. The verdict, the first safe use case and the risks are the scorer's own output for those answers.

Verdict

Discovery-ready

You can scope a safe pilot after a short discovery pass.

First safe use case

Read-only internal knowledge assistant with human review. Do not automate actions yet.

Top of the risk register

  • criticalExcessive agency

    Autonomous write access is not a first pilot. Start read-only or require human approval.

  • highPermission boundary uncertainty

    AI retrieval inherits the quality of source permissions. Dirty ACLs become data exposure.

  • highSensitive data exposure

    The workflow may process confidential, financial, legal, health, or special-category data.

Answer what you can evidence today.

A missing owner, policy, test, or incident path goes into the plan and lowers the score.

What you get

Each control is a real deployment question: who owns the workflow, where the data lives, what the AI may do, what gets logged, what happens when it fails. Every answer is taken at face value. Nothing here opens your tenant, your code or your data, so the result is worth exactly what the answers are, and Unknown is a valid answer.

A readiness verdict

One of four bands, from "unsafe to deploy" to "production-ready for a bounded use case".

A risk register

Every risk signal your answers raise, ranked critical, high or medium, with the reason.

A 90-day action plan

A fixed 30/60/90 sequence with your first evidence gap and your first safe use case written into it.

A PDF brief

The verdict, both registers and the plan, in six sections you can forward internally.

Free · no login · scored in your browser

6 dimensions, 3 controls each

Use case

Workflow clarity, decision rights, value hypothesis

Data

Sources, permissions, sensitivity, retention

Governance

Owner, policy, oversight, assessment trigger

Security

Prompt, tool, supplier, and model risk controls

Architecture

Identity, integration, logging, environments

Operations

Evaluation, incidents, training, rollout ownership

The controls were written against public framework material: NIST AI Risk Management Framework, NIST AI 600-1 Generative AI Profile, ISO/IEC 42001:2023, EU AI Act overview, OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework for AI. No control cites a clause or maps to one.

Evidence model

Readiness, risk, and certainty stay separate.

A team can understand its gaps without being ready to deploy. It can also have a technically strong prototype with unacceptable use-case risk. The scan reads your answers and never your systems.

This self-assessment is informed by public framework material and scores what you declare. It verifies nothing, and it is not a legal opinion, compliance audit, conformity assessment, certification, or substitute for testing the target environment.

Score the 18 declared controls

Each answer contributes to its dimension, to risk signals, to certainty, and to any hard blockers, which can hold the verdict at unsafe even when other controls score well. Every control is answered before a result renders.

Modelled

Treat Unknown as an answer

Unknown is an option on all 18 controls, and it is an answer rather than a hole in the model. It scores zero, it counts as zero certainty, it carries that control's worst risk, and it lands in the evidence register instead of quietly taking a favourable default.

Not read

Build the risk and evidence registers

The result lists why each material risk was raised and which documents, tests, owners, or technical evidence you said were missing. The list is capped, and the result says so when it truncates.

Modelled

Choose a bounded first use case

The recommended starting shape reduces decision authority, data exposure, and integration scope. It remains a planning recommendation until something verifies it.

Modelled

Observed: the tool read it. Declared: you told the tool. Modelled: the tool calculated it from those. Not read: the tool could not see it.

FAQ

What the verdict can and cannot prove

How many questions is it?

18 controls across 6 dimensions, 3 in each. Every control offers Unknown, which scores zero and becomes an evidence gap instead of a favourable default.

Does the scan inspect anything itself?

No. Every input is an answer you select. Nothing connects to your tenant, repository, code, logs, or data, and no answer is verified. That is why the output is a self-assessment and why the result is worth exactly what your answers are worth.

What is included in the result?

A readiness verdict, readiness and risk scores, self-reported certainty, a six-axis view, a risk register, an evidence-gap list, a first safe use case, a 30/60/90-day plan, and a PDF brief in six sections. It also names the workshop focus that fits your weakest dimension and links to it.

Is this a compliance audit or certification?

No. It is a structured self-assessment informed by public frameworks. It does not establish legal compliance, certify an AI management system, or replace a technical and legal review.

What happens to my answers?

Scoring runs in your browser. A result is submitted only when you intentionally provide a work email for follow-up or report delivery.

Take the register to a two hour workshop. The AI and tenant evidence register and the Copilot gate record are two of its seven items.
