In brief: AI Build Group Ltd's free AI Maturity Assessment shows how far your organisation has moved from informal, individual AI use to governed, repeatable and measurable AI-supported work. It takes 20 questions, usually three to five minutes, and shows your result straight away. Take it before you visit Stand B501 at The Business Show London 2026, ExCeL London, on 11–12 November 2026, and bring the result to the stand.
Why take the assessment before the show?
A conversation on an exhibition stand is short. Arriving with a score turns it from "where do we start?" into a discussion about the specific dimension holding your most valuable workflows back, and what a practical next step looks like.
Is AI readiness the same as AI maturity?
No. AI readiness asks whether the foundations exist to start safely: a sponsor, a budget, basic tooling and permission to pilot. AI maturity asks whether AI is already a governed capability with owners, controls and measured workflows. An organisation can be ready and still immature, and licence counts or prompt volumes prove neither.
What does the assessment measure?
Each answer is scored from 0 to 4 across six dimensions, and the overall score maps to a maturity band: Initial, Emerging, Defined, Measured or Embedded. The scoring model is published as methodology v1.1.
- Leadership and strategy: direction, sponsorship and alignment with business objectives.
- People and skills: role-based capability and accountable human judgement.
- Process maturity: documented processes, hand-offs, exceptions and approvals.
- Governance and control: approved sources, confidentiality, traceability and controlled release.
- Continuous improvement: how ideas are captured, piloted and scaled.
- Business transformation: whether AI is measured through business outcomes rather than tool activity.
What does the free result include, and what costs extra?
Your score and a brief summary are free. Optional paid reports go further: a whole-business report costs £79, or a department analysis costs £75 per department. Paid reports include a category scorecard, the evidence behind each score, workflow opportunities, governance considerations and a practical 90-day AI adoption roadmap. Benchmarking uses a research-led UK SME estimate until enough anonymised results exist; the benchmark methodology explains how.
