Assess AI operating model maturity across 15 criteria
Assess how you manage AI initiatives, data, model quality, security, operations, and links to business metrics.
Criteria for a Mature AI Operating Model
- Each AI initiative has a defined business objective, baseline metric and expected impact.
- An AI portfolio owner is assigned at company level with prioritization rules.
- Model quality criteria are linked to process metrics and error cost.
- Data owners, authorized use cases and retention periods are defined.
- Reproducible data preparation, testing and model deployment workflows exist.
- Quality is validated against representative examples, including rare and high-risk scenarios.
- The path from hypothesis to product or process integration is documented with control points.
- Model behavior in production is logged; quality, latency, cost and failure monitoring are configured.
- Security, rights, industry restrictions and ethics requirements are verified before launch.
- Fallback scenarios and manual escalation are defined for errors, low confidence and model unavailability.
- AI risks are assessed alongside financial, operational and legal process risks.
- Product owner, subject matter expert, data scientist, ML/AI engineer and security roles are clearly separated.
- AI is embedded in the operational workflow and process rules, not a separate demonstration.
- Before scaling, the hypothesis is validated in a limited scope with predefined acceptance criteria.
- Feedback mechanisms, model updates and retesting after data or prompt changes are in place.
