PILOT-TO-PRODUCTION SCORECARD

Find out what is actually holding your pilot back.

Most AI pilots do not fail on the model. They fail on one of five gates that nobody owned — and the gate you are weakest on is rarely the one you are worrying about.

PayoffWhat is this worth if it works?
ReachCan it touch the actual work?
OracleWhat defines a good output?
OwnerWho is accountable for the outcome?
FloorWhat bar must a change clear to ship?

Seventeen yes-or-no questions, about four minutes. At the end you get a Readiness Index out of 100, the gate you are weakest on, and a written assessment of what to fix and in what order — the same five gates I use inside a paid audit.

No email needed until the end. I ask for it to send the written report, and because I read every one of these myself.

Question 1 of 2In your own words

What is the AI project that is stuck?

A sentence or two. What it does, roughly how long it has been going.

Question 2 of 2In your own words

What do you think is stopping it?

Your read, before mine. This is the one I compare my answer against.

Question 1 of 17 Payoff

Answer honestly rather than aspirationally. A generous answer buys you a flattering number and a useless report.

Last stepWhere to send it

Where should I send the assessment?

Your report is generated the moment you submit, and lands in your inbox as well so you can forward it.

Assessing…Pilot-to-Production Scorecard
Scoring computed in code · Assessment written by a model

Your Readiness Index and gate scores are arithmetic, computed in code from your answers. The assessment underneath is written by a language model working from those numbers and your words, so it can be wrong; tell me where, because I read every one myself.
