The 48-cell framework
Four dimensions. Three domains. Four modes. Research-backed capability assessment that measures what actually matters.
Most AI maturity models measure tool adoption — how many systems deployed, how many staff trained, how much budget allocated. They measure activity, not capability.
Ours is different. We built a framework grounded in learning science and organisational development research. Each of the 48 cells is a discrete, measurable capability with clear assessment criteria and development pathways.

How it works
The framework maps capability across three domains — Workforce, Functional Area, and Transformation — and four modes of development. Every organisation moves through these modes: assess where you stand, plan the path forward, integrate new practices, and embed them until they're second nature.
Four dimensions
Each dimension spans all three domains and four modes — twelve cells per dimension.
How the organisation positions AI within its broader objectives. Alignment between stated ambition and actual resource allocation.
Whether people feel safe to experiment, fail, and learn. The gap between what leadership says and what staff experience.
Practical capability to select, deploy, and maintain AI systems. Infrastructure, data practices, and integration patterns.
Risk management, ethical frameworks, and accountability structures. The guardrails that make sustained adoption possible.
