What the assessment measures
AI readiness is not a single tool. It is the set of systems that decide whether AI produces a measurable result inside a law firm. The assessment scores six categories, four questions each — 24 data points in total.
| Category | What it evaluates | Example signal |
|---|---|---|
| Client Intake | How inquiries are captured, responded to and qualified | After-hours response time; structured intake data |
| Search and Marketing | Visibility in search and AI assistants; channel attribution | AI-assistant visibility; signed-case attribution |
| Matter Intelligence | Document review, extraction and matter knowledge | Automated obligation and date extraction |
| Workflow and Integration | Whether systems exchange data without manual re-entry | Practice management ↔ CRM ↔ billing sync |
| Governance and Security | Policy, confidentiality, access control and vendor review | Written AI usage policy; MFA and audit logging |
| Measurement and Adoption | Whether outcomes and adoption are tracked and reviewed | Turnaround time and cost-per-matter tracking |
Why AI readiness matters for law firms
Intake is where cases are won or lost
Firms frequently lose qualified matters not on expertise but on response time. A structured, automated intake system converts inquiries that a manual process lets go cold.
Client expectations moved to AI
Prospective clients increasingly ask assistants rather than search engines. Firms without structured, citable information are simply absent from that answer.
Matter work is document-heavy
Reviews, chronologies and due-diligence outputs are repetitive by nature — precisely where disciplined automation compounds.
Governance protects the firm
Confidentiality obligations do not pause for new tools. Policy, access control and vendor review determine whether adoption is safe or reckless.
How scoring works
Each of the 24 questions uses a five-point scale: 0 Not in place · 1 Early · 2 Developing · 3 Established · 4 Advanced. Each category is scored out of 16 and converted to a 0–100 scale; your overall score is the average of the six category scores. Your three lowest categories become your priority recommendations.
| Score | Maturity level | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| 0–24 | Foundational | Core systems are largely manual. Start with intake capture and response time. |
| 25–49 | Developing | Pieces exist but are disconnected. Integration and measurement come next. |
| 50–74 | Operational | Systems work; gains now come from automation depth and governance. |
| 75–100 | AI Ready | Strong foundation. Focus shifts to optimisation and competitive advantage. |
