The AIQ Literacy Assessment measures your leaders and team's AI literacy across four dimensions, individually and as a team. You'll get a score, a zone, and a clear sense of where to focus first.
Significant gaps. Your team is operating on assumption, not understanding.
Partial literacy. Uneven across the team. Some leaders ready, others not.
Strong foundation. Ready to move from literacy to strategy and governance.
Leaders know they need AI. What they don't know is what that actually means for their organization: what to invest in, what to govern, what to stop doing, and what decisions can't wait.
AIQ is designed to bridge that gap. Not with a tech briefing, but with a structured process that meets your team where it is and builds toward decisions you can act on, from literacy through execution.
"Most teams are building the plane while flying it. AIQ gives you a moment to look at what you're actually building."
AIQ measures executive AI literacy across four dimensions, assessed individually and as a team.
The gap between how a leader rates themselves and how their team perceives them is often where the real work begins.
Understanding of LLM capabilities and limits. Awareness of hallucinations and reasoning boundaries. Clarity on augmentation vs. automation. The ability to distinguish hype from operational reality.
Ability to distinguish defensive vs. offensive AI plays. Understanding of portfolio balance across experimentation, efficiency, and differentiation. Competitive signal awareness. Capacity to see where differentiation shifts.
Awareness of data, IP, compliance, and hallucination risks. Clarity of ownership and accountability. Guardrail maturity: human-in-the-loop processes, audit trails, validation loops. Ability to explain AI risk exposure to a board.
Ability to move from pilot to production responsibly. Understanding of workflow vs. agent vs. multi-agent decisions. Clarity on where human-in-the-loop is required. Measuring ROI and validating outcomes.
"The gap between how a leader rates their own AI literacy and how their team perceives them is often the most useful thing we measure."— Alex Durand, Founder, Frable Consulting
AIQ is built on a Stable Core / Flexible Ring model. The core covers AI fundamentals, the jagged frontier, risk basics, and governance. It is consistent across every engagement. The ring is configured for your organization: your industry, your tooling, your specific exposure.
The result is a session that feels built for you, not delivered from a shelf. Most teams complete it in a single live session of two to three hours, with lightweight pre-work and a structured 30-day action plan that follows.
Individual AIQ inventory. Sponsor intake to understand org priorities, tooling, and constraints. Lightweight industry scan. Draft agenda built from results.
Stable core: AI fundamentals, the jagged frontier, performance and workforce implications, risk and governance basics. Flexible ring: your org's hotspots and coldspots, industry signals, investment mapping, the AI Drift Test™.
The session closes with three 90-day commitments: one experiment to run, one governance gap to close, one capability investment. Named owner. Metrics and review cadence.
Pilot one to two use cases. Validation and risk checks. Weekly trailblazer updates. Executive review and next steps.
AIQ works best when at least one person in the room is willing to say what everyone else is privately thinking about AI. That's usually enough to get started.
The first step is a conversation about what your team actually needs, and whether AIQ is the right fit.
