Go to the contact form What you get at the end - your Decision Readiness Score on a scale of 0 to 100 - the right entry point: BISA 1, BEIA or a conversation - the services that match your occasion ## How the check works The Decision Readiness Check shows how close your project is to a decision that holds. It asks about the occasion, the groundwork, the framework conditions and the timing, and turns them into a score between 0 and 100. Twelve questions, four themes Project, groundwork, framework and decision. Every question has fixed answers, so there is nothing to look up. A score with a clear rule Each answer counts zero to fifteen points, and the score scales them to 100. The last question does not count; it helps in the conversation. Your answers stay with you The evaluation runs in your browser, without AI. Only when you send the result does it travel, encrypted, to SIMO GmbH. The four levels ### Orientation 0 to 39 The occasion or the timing is still missing. An engagement does not pay off right now. ### Needs clarification 40 to 59 The occasion is there, important groundwork is missing. Deciding now means deciding on uncertain ground. ### Building decision readiness 60 to 79 Much is prepared. A few gaps decide whether the decision will hold. ### Executive decision priority 80 to 100 Large impact, short timeframe, solid groundwork: this decision belongs on the management table now. Project Groundwork Framework Decision done current step still open What is your decision about? Occasion Choose the occasion that fits best. We want to use AI. We are facing a major investment. Our numbers do not match. An ERP, cloud or system change is coming up. Regulation demands evidence. Our transformation is not working. No specific occasion, we are getting our bearings. How large is the impact of the decision? Impact Strategic: business model, market position or the whole company. Large: several areas and a budget over several years. Contained: one area or one system. We cannot say yet. Are there several plausible solution or architecture options? Options Yes, several options are on the table. So far there is only one vendor's proposal. We do not know yet. No, the path is set. Is your current architecture of business, data, applications and technology documented? Architecture documented Yes, current and traceable. Partly, with known gaps. No, the knowledge sits in individual heads. Are critical data flows and data ownership known? Data flows and ownership Yes, with named owners. Partly. No, numbers contradict each other or nobody is responsible. Can your management explain today why option A is better than option B? Justifiability Yes, with criteria and figures. Partly, mostly from experience. No, not yet. Is AI already in use or planned within the next twelve months? AI Yes, AI is in use or firmly planned. First trials are running. No. Are cloud and AI data access and your data sovereignty requirements settled? Data sovereignty Yes, rules and responsibilities are defined. Partly. No, not yet. Do you have regulatory or customer evidence obligations? Evidence obligations For example from NIS2, DORA, the EU AI Act or audits by your customers. Yes. We are checking that right now. No. By when does the decision have to be made? Decision by Within the next three months. In three to six months. In six to twelve months. Later or without a fixed date. What must be measurably better after the project? Should improve measurably Does not count towards the score. It helps in the conversation if you send the result. Decisions: faster and more robust. Cost and effort. Risk, security and evidence. Revenue, customers or new business models. That is still open. Next Show result change One answer is still missing.
