See where your district stands on Artificial Intelligence (AI) governance today: your readiness level, your score across 5 stages, and the single constraint holding everything else back.
Read your results by the constraint, not the average. Your lowest stage limits how far every other stage can carry you.
Unlock 3 priority actions for your constraint stage and a branded PDF of your results to share with your leadership team. When you unlock your report, your name, email, organization, role, and results are sent to Ascend AI NOW, LLC, and Dr. Alexis S. Smith may contact you about your results. See the privacy notice.
Start here this quarter. They target your constraint stage first.
Every paid engagement ends with a polished, evidence-based report your leadership can act on and your school board can approve. The contents expand with each tier.
This diagnostic is a self-reported directional read. It is not an audit, a certification, or legal advice. Standards references indicate where each stage aligns; they do not imply conformity. Scenarios are illustrative composites, not specific clients.
The AI Power Gap™ Readiness Index and this diagnostic are original instruments by Dr. Alexis S. Smith, crosswalked to the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, ISO/IEC 42001, the EU AI Act, and SOC 2. Dr. Smith is also a TAIMScore™ Certified Assessor.
What we collect. Your answers stay in your browser until you unlock your report. At that point, your name, email, organization, role, answers, and scores are sent to Ascend AI NOW, LLC through our website form service. Each time anyone reaches the results screen, an anonymous record of the scores, with no name or contact details, is also kept so we can understand overall readiness trends.
How we use it. To prepare your report, to follow up with you about your results and related services, and, only if you check the box, to send the toolkit and occasional updates. We do not sell or rent your information, and we do not share your organization’s results with anyone without your written permission.
Your choices. Every email includes a way to unsubscribe. To see, correct, or delete your information, email assessments@ascendainow.com. We keep diagnostic records for up to 24 months, then delete them. Full details: Privacy Policy and where your data goes.
