The challenge
Why AI programmes stall
Most public sector AI deployments fail not because the tools are weak, but because the foundations underneath them were never checked. Governance without an owner. Data nobody has profiled. A workforce that hears about it late. This assessment surfaces those gaps before they cost you a programme.
Mapped to the frameworks your board already recognises
- NHS What Good Looks Like — the seven success measures behind the Digital Maturity Assessment
- NHS England / Health Foundation AI Readiness Assurance Framework & Checklist
- Digital Technology Assessment Criteria (DTAC) — clinical safety, data protection, technical security, interoperability, usability
- Artificial Intelligence Playbook for the UK Government — the ten principles for safe, effective public sector AI
Step one
Which best describes your organisation?
This tailors the safety and assurance questions to your regulatory context.
The assessment
Eight domains. One honest answer each.
Answer as things actually are today, not as they are meant to be. An optimistic score helps nobody.

They appear on screen the moment you continue. Nothing is held back behind a call.
Where to send it
Where should we send your report?
Your scored report appears on screen immediately. We also email a copy to you and to our team so we can answer any questions you have about the findings.
Your result
Where you stand today
A score, a profile across eight domains, and the three things worth doing first.

The profile
Where the gaps are
Each axis scores 0–100%. The shaded area is your organisation; the dotted ring is the 60% threshold we treat as the minimum safe base for deploying AI in a regulated public service.
What to do next
Your three highest-priority actions
Ranked by the gap between your score and the threshold, weighted by how much each domain blocks everything downstream.
Scope and limitations
What this score does not tell you
This is a self-assessment. It is a fast, structured way to surface where your foundations are thin and to give a board a shared vocabulary. It is not a formal assurance product, does not replace a DPIA, DCB0160 clinical safety case, DTAC submission or equality impact assessment, and does not constitute legal or regulatory advice.
