Readiness quiz
Find the evidence and controls you need before a live pilot.
Test the workflow.
Then decide what to buy.
Score one proposed workflow. Choose the highest answer for which every condition is true today. Plans and assurances are not completed evidence.
Can you describe the first workflow without saying “AI transformation”?
Evidence to collect: A one-page workflow map. Write down what the system must never do, as well as what it should do.
Check the buying overrides.
The total is only one part of the decision. Every launch condition still applies.
Unanswered questions are shown separately and do not establish readiness.
The questions, bands and thresholds are Working Climate’s editorial decision framework. They are not statistically validated against HVAC outcomes and do not certify legal compliance, safety or financial returns.
