An AI assessment is only useful if someone in your organisation can own the result. This free check looks at whether that person exists yet, not whether your AI is governed correctly. Two minutes. No card required.
Start the check → Already know your board isn't ready for this yet? Skip straight to a conversation →Most organisations that run an AI assessment already have the technical questions in mind. Fewer have settled who owns the answer once it arrives, who can sign off a deployment, or who has the authority to stop a system that starts behaving badly. Without that in place, a finding just sits on a slide. This check looks at the ownership conditions first, so an assessment has somewhere to land.
Is this a governance assessment?
No. It does not look at your AI systems at all. It looks at whether your organisation has the ownership and sign-off structure in place to act on a governance finding, once you have one.
Why would we do this before an AI assessment, not after?
A finding that nobody owns tends to sit unresolved. Checking who is accountable first means the assessment that follows produces something the organisation can actually act on, rather than a report that raises questions nobody was ready to answer.
What happens to our answers?
Your answers are used only to generate your result on this page. They are not stored against your name, not sold, and not used to train any AI model.
What if we come back as Not Ready?
That is a normal starting point, not a failure. It usually means the ownership questions have not been asked yet at board level, rather than that anything has gone wrong. Naming an executive owner and getting board sign-off on AI use are the two that tend to unlock the rest.
Who built this?
Built by AQE, the same team behind the AI deployment qualification engine. This check sits ahead of AQE rather than inside it.
Free to run. Two minutes. No card required.
