Ready means the business knows where AI should help.
Missed enquiries, slow follow-up, repeated admin, messy reporting, inconsistent content, and manual handovers are better starting points than vague goals like "use AI."
Singapore SME AI readiness check
Is Your Business AI Ready?
A private self-check for SME owners before spending money on AI tools, vendors, grants, or automation projects.
Private self-check
Start with the quiz, then read the result.
The check takes about three minutes. It runs entirely in your browser. No email, no company name, no submission.
Use daily reality, not best-case intent.
The most useful answer is the one that describes how the business works on a normal busy day. Lower readiness is not failure; it tells you where to start before spending.

The practical definition
AI readiness starts before the AI tool.
A business is ready for AI when the problem is clear, the workflow is understood, the information needed by the system can be found, and someone will be responsible for using the output.
The trap is buying surface-level AI.
A chatbot that cannot access accurate information, an automation nobody trusts, or a dashboard with numbers no one acts on will not move the business. Start with the workflow and the decision you want to improve.
Five readiness areas
The parts of the business that AI depends on.
The safest first AI project is usually boring in a good way. It improves a repeated workflow, saves time, reduces missed opportunities, or helps the team respond more consistently.
01
Data
Customer, lead, sales, product, and operations information can be found without asking three people and checking five spreadsheets.
02
Workflow
The repeated task is documented well enough that someone can explain what happens before, during, and after it.
03
Customer handling
Enquiries, quotes, bookings, follow-ups, and support requests are captured and tracked instead of living only in inboxes or WhatsApp chats.
04
People and adoption
The team knows who will use the system, who checks quality, and what changes in daily work after launch.
05
Measurement
The business has a simple way to compare before and after: time saved, response speed, conversion, quality, cost, or revenue impact.
