Q: How much does the readiness assessment cost?

CNEXT AI Readiness Assessment: CHF 5,500 (organisations up to 200 users), CHF 8,500 (200–1,000 users), CHF 12,500 (1,000+ users). For clients who proceed with a CNEXT AI implementation within 3 months, 50% of the assessment cost is credited against the implementation invoice.

Q: What is the most common finding in AI readiness assessments?

CNEXT's most common finding: organisations are technically capable (have M365 Copilot Studio available) but their SharePoint content is not ready (stale pages, no metadata, overly permissive permissions). 70% of assessment clients need SharePoint governance remediation before AI agents will give reliable results. The technical AI setup is often the easier part.

Q: Does the assessment cover Microsoft 365 Copilot readiness?

Yes. Microsoft 365 Copilot readiness is a subsection of the technical and compliance dimensions: SharePoint permission audit (oversharing detection), Sensitivity Label coverage check, content quality assessment (stale/inaccurate pages that will confuse Copilot), DLP policy review and a Copilot licence ROI model for the specific organisation.

Q: How is FADP compliance evaluated in the readiness assessment?

FADP evaluation covers: data residency of all M365 workloads (SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams), personal data in potential AI knowledge sources (policy documents, HR guides), Sensitivity Label coverage, DLP policy effectiveness, processing register accuracy for AI systems and whether a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is required for the planned AI use case.

Q: Can non-Microsoft organisations do the readiness assessment?

Yes. CNEXT adapts the readiness assessment for non-Microsoft environments: Google Workspace + Vertex AI, AWS Bedrock (Claude), on-premises environments using OpenClaw. The five assessment dimensions are technology-agnostic. CNEXT's Microsoft bias is acknowledged – for fully non-Microsoft stacks, CNEXT provides advisory but not technical implementation.

Q: What happens after the readiness assessment?

After the assessment: CNEXT presents findings and the AI roadmap in a 90-minute session. Most clients then proceed with: (1) a SharePoint or data governance remediation project (typically 4–8 weeks), (2) a quick-win AI agent proof of concept (2–4 weeks) to demonstrate value, and (3) a structured AI adoption programme following the roadmap. CNEXT coordinates all three workstreams.

Question 1

What is the CNEXT Agentic AI Readiness Assessment?

Accepted Answer

The CNEXT Agentic AI Readiness Assessment is a 2-week engagement that evaluates whether your organisation is technically, organisationally and legally ready to deploy AI agents. Output: a 20-page readiness report with RAG status across 50+ criteria and a prioritised AI adoption roadmap.

Question 2

What five dimensions does the assessment evaluate?

Accepted Answer

Five dimensions: (1) Technical readiness – M365 configuration, SharePoint quality, API availability. (2) Data readiness – knowledge source quality, data governance, sensitive data identification. (3) Use case readiness – identified use cases, ROI potential, FADP compliance of each use case. (4) Compliance readiness – FADP posture, AI governance framework, responsible AI policies. (5) Organisational readiness – AI sponsor, skills, culture, change capacity.

Question 3

How long does the readiness assessment take?

Accepted Answer

The CNEXT AI Readiness Assessment takes 2 weeks: Week 1 – data gathering (tenant access, stakeholder interviews, document review), Week 2 – analysis and report writing. The report is presented in a 90-minute findings session. Follow-up questions answered within 5 business days at no additional cost.

Question 4

What does the AI readiness report contain?

Accepted Answer

The readiness report contains: executive summary (1 page, for leadership), assessment findings by dimension (RAG status for each criterion), top 3 risks and recommended mitigations, top 5 quick-win AI use cases (achievable in <8 weeks), 12-month AI adoption roadmap (phases, milestones, resource estimates) and a FADP compliance action plan for AI.
