AI Readiness Self-Assessment Workbook — Know Where You Stand Before You Spend

Most small businesses are either behind the curve on AI or spending on the wrong tools for the wrong reasons. Before you invest another dollar or hour, you need an honest baseline. The DLM AI Readiness Self-Assessment Workbook gives you exactly that — a clear, scored picture of where your operation actually stands. This 25-question workbook walks through five key dimensions: current tool usage, workflow automation potential, data readiness, team capability, and strategic alignment. You score your answers, total your results, and land in one of four tiers — Foundational, Developing, Capable, or Advanced — with a plain-language interpretation and a mapped path forward specific to your score. Built for small business operators, independent managers, and team leads who want a real diagnostic, not a vendor's self-serving quiz. No fluff. No upsell trap. A tool you own, complete at your own pace, and revisit as your operation grows. Walk away knowing exactly what to fix first, what to build next, and what to skip — so every AI decision you make from here is backed by data, not guesswork. Benefits: - 25-question scored self-assessment across 5 operational readiness dimensions - Tiered rating system: Foundational -> Developing -> Capable -> Advanced, with clear interpretation for each - Built-in gap analysis: not just a score, but a prioritized next-step map - Designed for operators with no AI background required, plain language throughout - Pairs directly with the DLM AI Readiness Audit for teams ready to go deeper ($2,500 engagement) - Single-user commercial license: print, complete on screen, share inside your team - Instant digital delivery: workbook PDF in your inbox, ready to use today © 2022–2026 DLM Solutions Group
