How to read your score
This is E. Michelle Inc.’s original self-assessment rubric, version 1.0. It is a directional planning tool based on your answers, not an independent audit, certification or approval to deploy AI. It does not test your systems or verify evidence.
Each of the 24 questions scores 0–4 with equal weight. “Not sure” scores 0 as an unverified foundation and is counted separately. Each area is its total divided by 16; overall readiness is the total divided by 96. Displayed percentages are rounded; readiness bands use the unrounded score.
0–24: Establish foundations. 25–49: Build consistency. 50–74: Prepare a focused pilot. 75–100: Potential for a controlled pilot. A score of 75 or more still requires at least 50 in every area, fewer than six unknown answers, and at least level 2 in information access, account security, human review and accountable ownership. A gap in any of these changes the recommended starting point.
Oversight questions consider themes addressed in the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. The scoring rubric is not a NIST assessment or validation.
