AI Readiness Assessments
A clear evaluation of your AI maturity — where you stand, what you need, and what it takes to close the gap. Delivered as a board-ready report with a prioritised action plan.

Advisory and implementation support for leadership teams navigating AI, blockchain, and quantum decisions — with no vendor affiliations and nothing to sell you. Only your outcome matters.
Context
Romania's AI adoption rate sits at approximately 2% nationally — against 8% across Europe and 14% in leading EU markets. According to McKinsey's 2024 European AI adoption analysis, organizations in lower-adoption markets face compounding disadvantage: slower AI maturity means weaker competitive positioning precisely when competitors are accelerating. Board-level decisions made without independent analysis in this environment carry disproportionate risk.
