Question 1

Is this an AI maturity assessment?

Accepted Answer

No. The review is tied to one initiative, one primary workflow, and one leadership decision. It does not assign an enterprise maturity label.

Question 2

Does a working pilot mean the initiative is ready to scale?

Accepted Answer

No. Scale changes population, workflow, authority, controls, cost, and consequence. The relevant evidence must cover the proposed exposure.

Question 3

Can the recommendation be Stop or Reframe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A well-supported adverse recommendation is a successful outcome when it prevents unsupported commitment or identifies a more defensible path.

Question 4

Does the review include implementation?

Accepted Answer

No. Implementation and remediation are separately scoped after the recommendation and only where the evidence supports them.

Question 5

When does the ten-business-day window begin?

Accepted Answer

The window begins after Evidence Readiness, not at signature. Evidence Readiness requires the first payment, approved boundary, named owners, evidence status, scheduled interviews, and secure exchange method.

Verify your AI initiative before you fund, launch, or scale it.
