When it is needed
Situations where the AI Rating makes the difference
What you get
AI Rating is a structured, evidence-based assessment of your organization's AI maturity. The goal is to make measurable four dimensions that are often confused: readiness, delivery capability, risk exposure and evidence solidity.
The ZeroFive scale
A synthetic 1-5 rating and four maturity classes to position the company clearly, both internally and toward the board.
Initial
Sporadic and ungoverned use. Strategy, data and risk oversight are missing.
Developing
First active initiatives, but without a structured process or shared metrics.
Solid
AI integrated into key processes, with formalized governance and clear roles.
Excellence
AI as a strategic asset, with risk control, measurement and widespread adoption.
Note: class A is reserved for assessments verified with structured interviews. The online self-assessment returns an indicative class from B to D.
How it works
A clear and transparent 4-step process
Kickoff and scope
Definition of use cases, functions involved, systems in scope
Evidence gathering
Structured interviews + documents + lightweight technical check
Scoring and validation
Internal review with company sponsor
Delivery and workshop
Priorities, roadmap and next steps shared together
When to use AI Rating vs AI Canvas
AI Rating
Company assessment
"Where you are"
AI Canvas
Initiative design
"What to do"
AI Rating measures organizational maturity. AI Canvas maps opportunities and projects. They are often used in sequence: Rating as a baseline, Canvas as a scoping tool.
Real use case
"A CFO wants to understand if the company is ready to invest in AI"
AI Rating provides an objective profile across 4 dimensions (Readiness, Delivery, Risk, Confidence), highlighting critical gaps and operational priorities.
The board receives an executive report with a 1-5 rating, A-D class, a 90-day roadmap and a 6-12 month backlog to decide budget and governance.
Methodology
An evidence-based and auditable approach
Structured and repeatable approach
Aligned with AI governance and risk management principles
Compatible with regulated contexts
References: EU AI Act (risk-based approach), ISO/IEC 42001 (AI management system) as governance inspirations, not as guaranteed compliance.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take and what is needed?
Typical duration is 2-4 weeks. It requires 6-12 hours of your team's time between interviews and document collection.
Is access to data required?
No direct access to sensitive data is needed. We work on metadata, documentation and structured interviews.
Is it an audit?
No, it is not a compliance audit. It is an evidence-based assessment to support strategic decisions.
What do I concretely receive?
An executive report with 1-5 rating, A-D class, 4 indices, gap analysis, 90-day roadmap and 6-12 month backlog.
Is it suitable for SMEs?
Yes, the framework is calibrated for structured SMEs, business units and scale-ups. It does not require internal AI teams.
Is it tied to a specific vendor?
No. The rating is vendor-agnostic. We assess organizational maturity, not the technology stack.
How do you handle confidentiality?
NDA available upon request. Minimal data, controlled access, no sharing with third parties.
Who needs to participate?
Executive sponsor + 4-6 key roles (IT, business, operations, HR/legal if relevant).
What happens after the rating?
A decision workshop to validate priorities. You can then continue with AI Strategy or AI Training.
Can I repeat it periodically?
Yes. We recommend a re-rating every 12-18 months to measure progress and recalculate priorities.
