Am I Ready for Agents?

How to report agent readiness to your board

In short

Report agent readiness to the board on one page each quarter with two separate lines: whether agents can complete your main task, and whether AI answers mention you. Add the self-check level, your Ora score beside the sector median, the three open decisions with owners and the dated external numbers that frame the risk.

The one page

  1. Line one, completed: did an agent finish the main task on the last test, and what stopped it if not.
  2. Line two, mentioned: how often AI answers name you for your tracked prompts, with the tool and the date.
  3. The self-check level and the area that caps it, from the readiness levels.
  4. Your Ora score and grade beside the median for your sector, with both scan dates. The KPI page says how to quote the gap.
  5. Three open decisions, each with an owner and a date. Pick them from the ten decisions.
  6. Two or three external numbers that frame the risk, dated and labelled.

What to leave out

A single blended score. A comparison with one named competitor unless both were scanned in the same week. Scores from several scanners side by side, which measure different things; use the one scanner your team runs each quarter and put the rest in an appendix for the web team.
