The AI Readiness Checklist for GCC Enterprises

Most AI programmes fail on readiness, not technology. Before committing budget, an organisation should be able to answer plainly: what outcome are we buying, who owns it, is our data trustworthy and accessible, do our systems expose the right APIs, is there a governance baseline, and are our people trained to use what we deploy.

This checklist turns those themes into twenty concrete questions, each scored against a short rubric. The output is a readiness profile that shows leadership exactly where the gaps are — and which of them must close before a first use case can succeed.

Used at the start of a programme, it replaces a vague "let's do AI" mandate with a costed, prioritised set of moves.
