THE REAL QUESTION
Is the system ready—not just the model?
AI initiatives often begin with a model demonstration and discover the hard problems later: unclear ownership, stale data, weak retrieval, missing access controls, unmeasured quality and no operational response.
We examine the full evidence path from source to answer, giving executives and engineering leaders one view of risk, readiness and next action.
THE ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK
Twelve domains. One production system.
Each domain is evaluated through evidence, stakeholder interviews and architecture review—not questionnaire optimism.
Data contracts & freshness
Ownership, schemas, completeness, timeliness and lineage.
Content preparation
Parsing, metadata, chunking and document lifecycle.
Embeddings & model lifecycle
Selection, versioning, drift and reproducibility.
Retrieval quality
Hybrid search, filtering, reranking and citations.
Semantic layer & analytics
Definitions, metrics and text-to-SQL safety.
Agents & tool controls
Permissions, memory, orchestration and approval.
Security & access
Identity, isolation, encryption and least privilege.
Evaluation & guardrails
Golden datasets, thresholds and adversarial tests.
Observability & response
Traces, incidents, rollback and runbooks.
Cost & capacity
Economics, latency budgets, caching and demand.
Delivery & operating model
Testing, release gates, accountability and skills.
MATURITY MODEL
A score leaders can act on.
Exploratory
Use cases and data remain informal.
Fragile
Pilots depend on individual knowledge.
Governed
Ownership exists; production gaps remain.
Production-ready
Controls and operations support deployment.
Optimised
Quality and cost improve continuously.
