A 15-question, 8-minute self-assessment built on the frameworks in Designing Automated Futures. Plot one initiative on the Autonomy Decision Matrix, score your Strategy Gap risk, and get the single next step that fits.
See exactly where one initiative lands on the Autonomy Decision Matrix — Hold, Question, Assist, or Automate — plotted from your own answers.
A 0–20 read on how reactive vs. intentional your approach is — and how exposed you are to the pattern that sinks 80% of AI projects.
One recommended move, scaled to where you actually are — not a generic “adopt more AI” nudge.
Most automation initiatives don’t fail on technology. They fail because no one asked whether the organization could deliver it — and whether it should. The diagnostic scores both, then plots your initiative live.
Sample placement. Yours animates in from your own answers.
Organizations launch into automation reactively — chasing a vision of full autonomy without first asking whether they could deliver it, whether they should, and whether the organization can absorb it. That gap is where initiatives quietly drift, budgets burn, and quality slips. The diagnostic measures how exposed you are.

Pick a specific AI or automation project you’re considering or already building. Not your org in the abstract — one real bet.
Three short sections on strategy signals, capability, and value. Roughly eight minutes, one question at a time.
Your answers animate onto the Autonomy Decision Matrix and a Strategy Gap risk gauge — an interactive report, not a PDF.
Leave with a clear next move and a throughline to the Strategy-First AI Workshop when that’s the right call.
Your answers stay on your device. Re-take quarterly to track how your readiness drifts.
