Short answer
An AI readiness assessment is a practical check of the firm's work, data, ownership, review points, tool use and risk before AI is expanded.
What it should cover

- Whether outputs have human review and evidence trails.
- Which next route fits: clarity, audit, implementation, recovery or governance support.
