MDG AI Maturity Index A 10-question self-assessment that places your business on the MDG AI Maturity Scale — from Stage 1 (AI Unaware) to Stage 5 (AI Native). Takes less than 5 minutes. How would you describe your business's current use of AI tools?` We are not using any AI tools. I'm not sure where to start. A few of us use tools like ChatGPT on our own, but it's informal. We use AI regularly in at least one area of the business with real results. AI is woven into multiple parts of how we operate day to day. AI is central to how we deliver our product or service. When AI comes up in conversation, how does your team typically respond?` People aren't sure it applies to us. People are interested but experimenting on their own. We've had real wins and people are bought in. AI is a normal part of how we talk about our work. We're often the ones other businesses ask about AI. Do you have any documented AI policies, approved tool lists, or usage guidelines? No, we haven't thought about governance at all. No formal policies, but we've talked about what's acceptable. Yes, we have basic guidelines in place for at least one area. Yes, we have policies and review them regularly. Yes, governance is embedded in how we hire, train, and operate. How are AI tools being adopted in your business right now? They aren't. We haven't started. People are finding and using tools on their own. One area of the business has real AI workflows. AI moves between departments consistently. AI decisions happen at the leadership level. Have you measured any time savings or productivity gains from AI use? No, we haven't used AI enough to measure anything. Informally. People feel more productive but we haven't tracked it. Yes, we've measured real time savings in at least one area. Yes, we track AI impact regularly and use it to make decisions. Yes, AI ROI is part of our strategic planning and reporting. How would you describe the data your business runs on? It's scattered in email, paper, people's heads. We use some tools but it's not connected. Most of what we need is accessible. Our data flows between systems reliably. Clean, connected data that feeds AI decisions. How comfortable are you building or customizing an AI workflow yourself? I wouldn't know where to begin. I can follow a tutorial but I need a lot of guidance. I've built something simple that actually works. I can build and troubleshoot workflows on my own. I design and iterate on AI systems regularly. Has AI changed how you deliver your core product or service? Our delivery hasn't changed at all. Some tasks are faster but the core is the same. AI has improved quality or speed in a real way. AI is now embedded in how we deliver every day. AI is the engine our service runs on. What is your biggest barrier to doing more with AI right now? I don't know enough about what AI can actually do for my business. It feels chaotic. We're doing things but without a real plan. Connecting the tools. I want to scale what's working. Staying ahead. I want to keep innovating, not just maintain. This isn't a barrier for us. AI growth is part of our strategy. What outcome would make your investment in AI feel worth it? Understanding what's possible and taking one confident first step. A clear plan and the right tools set up properly. Measurable time savings and a workflow I can actually sustain. AI that runs across my business and gives me a competitive edge. New revenue, new capabilities, or a business model that didn't exist before.
