The AI Readiness Audit

12 questions. No email required to see your result.

A school is ready when it can state what each tool is for and stop using it without disruption. These twelve questions test that, across four layers.

This instrument comes from Education in the Age of the Builder.

01We can name the specific teaching or administrative task each AI tool is meant to reduce.
02Staff were shown what the tool cannot do, in plain terms, before it was introduced.
03There is a written position on acceptable AI use that a teacher could apply without asking a leader.
04Model outputs that touch a pupil record are reviewed and signed off by a named person.
05We know which of our pupil data leaves the institution, to whom, and under what terms.
06We could export our data and continue operating if a supplier failed tomorrow.
07Training is scheduled and paid for, rather than absorbed into staff evenings.
08Support is held by more than one person, so adoption survives a single departure.
09Teachers can decline a tool without a professional cost, and that has actually happened.
10We know the total annual cost of our AI estate, including licences, training and staff time.
11We check whether AI use is narrowing or widening the gap between our highest and lowest attainers.
12Renewal requires evidence of effect, not just an absence of complaints.
