Local visibility
Can people nearby understand who you help, why they might choose you, and where to find you?
AI Readiness Scorecard
A short scorecard for Edinburgh businesses that want to understand what is working, what is fragile, and where AI or better habits could make the next month easier to run.
Start here
Answer honestly. The result is there to sharpen the next step, not to push you towards a one-size-fits-all answer.
Best first step
Most owners do not need another vague promise about AI. They need to know which part of the business is leaking attention: unclear positioning, weak local visibility, missed follow-up, scattered customer data, thin reviews, or decisions made without enough signal.
The Scorecard gives you a sharper starting point. Your result can point towards community membership, founding access, a workshop, or a reviewed AI Systems Day if the timing and fit are right.
The useful questions
The old mistake is to start with tools. The better move is to check whether the business is clear, visible, trusted, followed up, and measured enough for better tools to be worth using.
Can people nearby understand who you help, why they might choose you, and where to find you?
Are reviews, partnerships, local proof, and useful content doing enough work before someone contacts you?
When someone enquires, books, buys, asks a question, or goes quiet, does the next step happen reliably?
Which jobs are still living in your head when they could be clearer, shared, measured, or lightly automated?
What it checks
The Scorecard is inspired by the same questions a good operator asks before spending money on another platform, campaign, or consultant.
Whether your ideal local customer is clear enough to guide decisions
How visible and up to date your Google Business Profile is
Whether your website, content, and local search signals match the area you serve
How consistently you collect reviews and turn trust into proof
Whether enquiries, follow-up, and repeat customer communication rely on memory
Whether you track the numbers that tell you what is working
After the Scorecard
You may be ready for a deeper review. You may need a lighter path into learning, local visibility, follow-up habits, reviews, or better measurement first.
High fit
If the business already has foundations in place, one of the team can review the result and discuss whether a deeper AI Systems Day conversation makes sense.
Medium fit
If the result shows progress but a few weak spots, the best next step may be founding access, a short session, or a resource that helps you tighten one area first.
Early stage
If the basics need attention, you can start with the community, simple checklists, and plain-English learning before making bigger changes.
If your business is a fit, one of the team can spend focused time understanding how it actually works: enquiries, admin, reviews, handoffs, customer communication, content, and where a realistic AI action plan could reduce friction.
Careful by default
Use the result to find worthwhile opportunities and sensible next steps. A scorecard result is not a promise of revenue, rankings, lead volume, or AI outcomes.
