Initial reading

The question

What risks and opportunities do we have?

The problem it solves

Objective Get a first reading of the starting point.

Nobody can say precisely where AI is being used, with what data, or who is accountable. The starting point has to be established on evidence, not impressions.

Questions it answers

  • What risks and opportunities do we have?
  • What do we want to improve?
  • Where is the data?
  • Which AI uses already exist?
  • Who decides and oversees?
  • What would an error lead to?

Signs your organisation is at this stage

  • Leadership has to answer for decisions a system now makes, and has nothing to answer with.
  • It operates in a regulated context, or with data whose exposure carries consequences.

What AGORA does

  • Free assessment: a person at AGORA reads your twelve answers and writes a response.
  • 4-week assessment: AGORA surveys the initiatives within the agreed scope, assesses the organisation's readiness and turns findings into concrete decisions.

Associated offer

Deliverables

  • Free assessment: a written response, with observations and up to three priorities.
  • 4-week assessment: the initial AI landscape and the assessment findings.

Who needs to take part

  • Executive sponsor
  • Business
  • Technology
  • Data
  • Risk, Legal or Compliance

The free assessment is completed by one person who knows the context. In the 4-week assessment, not every organisation needs every role in every week.

Indicative duration

Free assessment: response within 24 to 48 business hours from submission. Assessment: 4 weeks, at a fixed price.

Exit criterion

  • The organisation has a first written reading of its starting point: the free assessment response or the assessment findings.

Not a compulsory process

You do not have to go through the six stages in order, or engage work at every stage. An organisation with systems already in production can come in at Govern or Operationalise; one that is just exploring usually starts by understanding and assessing.
