Quick answer
What is an AI readiness assessment?
An AI readiness assessment reviews a business’s processes, data, systems and security to find where AI will deliver real value and what must be in place first, including whether the data for each idea is ready (AI data readiness).
MatrixTribe’s assessment takes 1 to 3 weeks, for a fixed price from $3,500 USD. You get ranked AI opportunities, a data readiness score, a safety plan based on our GRACE framework, and a costed pilot proposal.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does an AI readiness assessment cost?
At MatrixTribe, it starts at $3,500 USD for one team or process and typically goes up to about $15,000 USD for several departments. The price is fixed before work starts and credited toward a project signed within 60 days. Your exact quote depends on how many teams or processes you want reviewed.
How long does an AI readiness assessment take?
About 1 to 2 weeks for one team or process, and about 3 weeks company-wide. The timing depends on how quickly the people and systems we need are available for review. We confirm the schedule with you before the assessment starts.
What do we need to prepare?
A few hours with the people who do the work, and read access to the systems and data involved. We sign an NDA first. Please also tell us which decisions the assessment should help you make. That keeps the work focused on what matters to you.
Will you recommend AI even if it isn’t a fit?
No. If AI won’t pay off yet, the report says so and explains what to fix first, often connecting or cleaning data. We would rather say so clearly than sell a pilot that will stall. You still get the report with the reasons, so you can decide with confidence.
Is our data safe during the assessment?
Yes. All work runs under our SOC 2 Type II certified security controls, and we work under a non-disclosure agreement. Access is limited to the people who need it for your project, and it stays under the same controls. If you have questions, ask us before any work starts.
What happens after the assessment?
You can run the pilot yourselves or with us. If you go ahead with us within 60 days, the fee is credited in full. The report gives you a plan, whichever way you go. Your team keeps the findings and the recommended steps.
