Enterprise Debt Index
The Enterprise Debt Index scores the four pre-existing debts (data, technology, process, and talent) that decide whether AI spend compounds or works against itself. Answer twelve questions and get a read on each foundation, which debt is your binding constraint, and the action your deal type calls for first.

CEO Diagnostic
The CEO Diagnostic is a 10-minute self-assessment. It scores where technology is protecting or eroding enterprise value across three dimensions: Value Protection, Value Creation, and Exit Readiness. It is built from CCA's PRISM and CLEAR frameworks. It shows a CEO which areas affect valuation before a buyer's diligence room asks the same questions. BCG's 2026 CEO survey found that nine in ten CEOs already report some AI value. This diagnostic shows whether your company is positioned to scale that value or is still at the pilot stage.

Exit Readiness Scorecard
The Exit Readiness Scorecard is a ten-question self-assessment for owners weighing a sale. It scores the five things a sale process tests first: the financial record, how much of the business runs through you, customer and contract exposure, where your value expectation comes from, and the corporate record. Sometimes the honest result is that the business is not yet ready to sell.

It shows where technology protects or erodes enterprise value before a buyer's diligence team asks the same questions.

AI Governance Quick Scan
The AI Governance Quick Scan is the fast version of CCA's full readiness assessment. It runs 20 questions instead of 65, one per control domain across the same five pillars: Data Trust, Model Governance, Agent Autonomy, Enterprise Operations, and Responsible AI. It takes about five minutes and gives a directional read on which controls are in place and which are missing, before you commit the time for the full evidence-mapped assessment.

AI Governance Readiness Assessment
The AI Governance Readiness Assessment is a 65-question maturity diagnostic across five pillars: Data Trust, Model Governance, Agent Autonomy, Enterprise Operations, and Responsible AI. Each control is scored on a five-level maturity ladder, from non-existent to optimized, mapped to frameworks including NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and the EU AI Act. It shows which controls are in place and which are missing, before a board review, a regulator, or an acquirer's diligence team asks the same questions.

The AI Readiness Index is a 10-minute self-assessment that scores your company against the five pillars of the Enterprise AI Control Plane: Data Trust, Model Governance, AI Agent Autonomy, Enterprise Operations, and Responsible AI.

Board AI Readiness Scorecard
The Board AI Readiness Scorecard measures one thing: whether the board is governing the company's use of AI. Most board packs never test it. You answer eighteen questions across four oversight domains (director fluency, governance structure, policy and risk appetite, and reporting visibility). The result shows where your board has visibility, where it has none, and the first move your board role calls for.

Agent ROI Calculator
The Agent ROI Calculator estimates the annual capacity an AI agent that runs one recurring workflow could recover for your company or portfolio. It prices recoverable labor, rework, and growth absorption in dollars. It then classifies each obstacle to reaching that number as GATE, PRICE, THESIS, or LEVER.

AI Cost Recovery Calculator
The AI Cost Recovery Calculator prices how much of your annual AI spend is recoverable, using the 6 Cost Layers: API, Infrastructure, Tooling, People, Waste, and Risk. You enter the spend you can see. The calculator derives the layers no invoice shows and returns an annual recovery figure. Each layer is classified the way a diligence memo would treat it (GATE, PRICE, THESIS, or LEVER).

Tech Debt Cost Calculator
The Tech Debt Cost Calculator turns eight screens of inputs about your team, stack, and spend into an annual dollar estimate of what technical debt costs a software company. The estimate is split into seven categories, each classified the way a diligence memo would treat it (GATE, PRICE, THESIS, or LEVER), with a five-year cost of inaction.
