Are you AI-native?
Fourteen questions on how your company really runs.
Three minutes. No email.
Every company now has access to the same models. Whatever advantage came from simply using AI is gone. Your competitors rent the same intelligence you do.
What remains scarce is a business a machine can actually work in. Companies run on people quietly covering the gaps. Closing them is slow, internal work that no subscription ships with.
That work compounds. An AI-native company takes each new workflow into production faster than the last, because every one it ships makes the next cheaper.
AI-native is an operating model.
Agents do the work.
They gather, check, chase and update your systems.
People make the calls.
Judgement goes to the person who owns the decision.
Each workflow makes the next one cheaper.
The connections, data and controls carry over.
Five levels. Two caps keep the top honest.
AI Tourist
Occasional tool use. The operating model is untouched.
0–8AI-Curious Team
Subscriptions and prompts. Activity without structure.
9–16AI-Assisted Team
Real individual gains. Nothing the business can build on yet.
17–25AI-Native Operators
Repeatable workflows owned by teams. The foundation exists.
26–34AI-Native Company
Core operations redesigned around controlled AI systems.
35–42
Zero on production controls holds you at AI-Assisted Team, whatever your total.
Any dimension at 1 or below holds you at AI-Native Operators.
Seven things agents need from your company.
Workflow legibility
Before a workflow can be automated, it has to be made legible.
Context readiness
An agent only knows what your company has written down.
Data and systems
Agents need one answer to every question about a customer, an order or a ticket.
Human–agent boundaries
The human-agent boundary is the architecture.
Production controls
A system that cannot be inspected cannot be trusted.
Adoption and ownership
Every workflow needs an owner with the authority to change it.
Business impact
If no number moved, it was theatre.
Score yours
Take the assessment
Already have an agent? Let it answer.
Give the same questions to an AI assistant that can see where your work actually lives. Where it lacks the context to answer, it scores zero. An agent that cannot see your operation is a finding in its own right.
How agent mode works, and other agentsHow much of your operation could an agent run today?
Fourteen questions. This is the first.
Answer honestly. The result is only useful if it stings a little.
