Self-assessment tool
12 questions. 8 minutes. A preliminary view of your AI governance maturity and where the gaps are.
Answer each question honestly. For each "No" or "Unsure", note it — that gap is your governance exposure. A score of fewer than 8 "Yes" answers indicates material governance risk. This tool is a qualitative assessment only and is not a substitute for the AutoDiscover scan or the Sentinel risk scoring methodology.
