How it works
A set of questions, scored by an engine, that produces a plan
The owner takes the first pass. On the team and multi-site diagnostics, department leads and a sample of staff answer too, which is where the picture gets sharper.
What we measure
Three things, weighted
AI readiness
Can you implement? This looks at your systems and data, how standardized your workflows are, your governance, who owns the effort, your budget, your team's capacity, and whether you track results. It carries the most weight, because readiness is where most rollouts stall.
AI sentiment
Will your people accept it? We measure this from the team rather than assuming it. Resistance is usually not stubbornness. It is a sign that no one explained the rules, and the report treats it that way.
AI IQ
Does the business understand AI well enough to use it safely? This is a short graded test, not a self-rating. It uses real situations, like what to do before an AI-drafted message reaches a customer, or when a tool should not touch a certain kind of data.
The score
How the score works
The three parts combine into one Fit Score from 0 to 100 and a level. The combination is balance-aware, which is a plain way of saying a single weak area drags the whole score down. You cannot average your way past a governance gap. That is deliberate. A business that looks strong on paper but has no rules for handling sensitive data is not ready, and the score should say so.
Confidence
How much to trust the read
An owner-only assessment gives you a preliminary score. Add department leads and a sample of staff and the confidence rises, because you are no longer guessing what the rest of the business thinks. The report labels this plainly, so you know how much weight to put on it.
Sequence
A sequence, not a leap
The plan sorts AI into phases. First, low-risk internal work with a person reviewing the output. Then controlled operational uses with a clear owner. Then anything touching sensitive or regulated data, which has a higher bar. Then AI as a standing part of how you operate. You move up a phase when you have earned it, not before.
Less typing
We start from what is already public
Before you type much, Prism reads your public website and your Google business profile to fill in the basics: what you do, where you are, how you show up online. You confirm or correct it. That means less typing and a report that already knows something about your business. It does not change your score, and it never touches private or patient data.
