What the report shows

PAGE 1

Your level and the six areas

  • Your level, and what’s already working.
  • The six areas, each marked In place, Partly or Not yet.
  • If your AI is live and its return isn’t yet provable, a line shows how much yearly spend that covers, based on your answers.

PAGE 2

Your three biggest gaps

  • For each gap: the question to answer next, a first move and a sourced fact.
  • Then where to start, linked to the service page that fits.

The report is self reported. It uses only your answers, which we haven't checked.

Questions we hear

What is AI Value?

AI Value is a free AI readiness assessment from Creative Ground. You answer about ten questions in about five minutes and get a two page report on where your company stands with AI, and where to look first.

What if I’m not sure of an answer?

Choose “Not sure.” It counts as Not yet, which points you to the first thing to look into.

Who sees my answers?

Our team, to prepare your report and any conversation with you. If you tick the research box, we may also use your answers anonymized and combined with others’.

Is this an audit?

No. The report uses only your answers, which we haven’t checked. An audit is a separate service, AI Activation with a Spend & Adoption Audit.
