Automation Readiness Assessment
Is this facility ready to adopt, integrate, operate and scale automation for the use case you have in mind? We answer that across fourteen domains, from the evidence, and we tell you plainly what's missing.
What it looks at
Fourteen domains, tailored to your facility.
Your assessor tailors the questions to your facility type, use case, systems and the evidence you already have, so you aren't asked about what doesn't apply.
Scope
The use case, area and goals being assessed
Facility
Floors, space, physical constraints
Electrical
Power and charging
Network & wireless
Coverage, roaming, capacity
Operational process
Repeatability, variation, exceptions
Integration
WMS, MES, ERP and data sync
Robotics compatibility
Fit with the proposed use case
Safety, fire & regulatory
Identified for specialist review
Cybersecurity
IT/OT boundaries and remote access
Maintenance
Capability and support model
Workforce
Skills, training, ownership, change
Financial
The financial assumptions behind the business case.
Deployment
Readiness to stage and run a rollout
Material & product
Item data and material flow
Tinted domains are covered in depth on the Facility, Process and Workforce section pages.
How evidence is weighed
Not all evidence counts the same.
Every finding records what kind of evidence stands behind it. A questionnaire answer alone never verifies anything, but a disclosed critical problem is enough to stop the assessment.
Self-reported
A response from your team. Enough to stop, never enough to advance.
Document-supported
Backed by a drawing, survey, record or report, cited to the page.
Measured
A measurement taken at the facility, such as a survey or audit sample.
Specialist-verified
Determined by a qualified engineer or specialist working within their scope.
How results are expressed
Every assessment ends in exactly one outcome.
Three outcomes stop short of a readiness level, and they come with no headline score. They are often the most useful result: they tell you what to fix before spending on automation.
A critical issue stops the assessment. It leads the report, whatever else scored well.
There isn't enough evidence to decide. You receive the list of evidence needed to finish.
Measured conditions show process, data or economics need work first. Automation isn't the next step yet.
General automation readiness
[L2 definition pending]
[L3 definition pending]
Ready for detailed engineering and procurement
[How the per-criterion finding states relate to outcome classes: pending]
Structural, electrical, fire and safety findings need a qualified specialist's determination. Until then they show as pending, and the result can't go above L3. No level is a sign-off to deploy.
Sample results
Four modeled facilities, four different answers.
These facilities are modeled, not clients. They show how the assessment behaves when the answer isn't the one you hoped for.
Modeled warehouse A
Modeled facility — not a clientL2 · AMR use case
Modeled warehouse A reached L2 for the AMR use case, with open items listed.
Modeled facility B
Modeled facility — not a clientBlocked
A safety deficiency disclosed by a respondent stops the run and leads the report.
Modeled facility C
Modeled facility — not a clientWithheld
The evidence was too weak to decide. The output is a list of what's needed.
Modeled facility D
Modeled facility — not a clientNot indicated
A measured 23% exception rate means the process needs stabilizing before robotics.

What you receive
Findings you can check, and act on.
Readiness scorecard
Domain results, supported findings and explicit unknowns, with coverage shown. No headline score on a blocked or withheld run.
Evidence register
The trail from every finding to the document, response, measurement or observation behind it.
Gap and risk analysis
Deficiencies, dependencies, severity and consequences.
Executive report
The result and what it means, written for the people funding the decision.
RFP requirements pack
Your needs, constraints and open items, ready to carry into your own RFP. Needs only; no products or suppliers named.
Report formats are being finalized with our first pilot clients.
How it runs
Assessor-led, from scoping to report.
Scoping conversation
The use case, the area and what you need to decide.
Evidence request
A specific list of the documents and measurements that matter for your facility.
Review with your team
An assessor works through the evidence and the questions with the people who know the site.
Specialist items identified
Structural, electrical, fire and safety questions are flagged for qualified specialists.
Findings and report
One outcome, every finding traceable, and a walkthrough with your team.
How client documents are stored and retained is being finalized before pilots begin.
