A WORKING TOOL, NOT A PDF

The Marketing AI Readiness Check

Or would your agents be trained on nothing?

Twelve questions, five minutes, and a straight answer: is your marketing ready for AI agents, and if not, what do you fix first.

Most AI agents fail because they are trained on nothing. Five minutes tells you whether yours would.

One of the possible results is “do not buy agents yet, including from me”. I would rather tell you that now than invoice you for finding out.

The check is a working tool I built and shipped on my own site. That is not an accident. It is the point.

Your answers stay in your browser. The score renders on this page, no email needed. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you email your result to me yourself.

STANDARDS / DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO TRAIN ON?

QUESTION 1 OF 12If your best marketer left tomorrow, could someone else produce content in your voice from written rules alone?
QUESTION 2 OF 12Do written rules exist for which claims need evidence before they ship?
QUESTION 3 OF 12For each content type you publish, could you show one example that meets your bar and one that fails it, with the reasons written down?

OWNERSHIP / WHO RUNS THE SYSTEM?

QUESTION 4 OF 12Is there one named person who would own AI output quality?
QUESTION 5 OF 12Does anything external-facing publish without a named human signing it off?
QUESTION 6 OF 12If an AI draft contained a fabricated statistic, what would catch it today?

OPERATIONS / WOULD AGENTS INHERIT ORDER OR MESS?

QUESTION 7 OF 12How much marketing content does your team actually publish?
QUESTION 8 OF 12Would you trust your CRM data enough to let an agent read it and act on what it finds?
QUESTION 9 OF 12Do product, sales and marketing work from one source of truth for messaging, or several?

GOVERNANCE / CAN YOU ACCOUNT FOR WHAT AI TOUCHED?

QUESTION 10 OF 12Could you say today which of your published content was AI-generated or AI-assisted?
QUESTION 11 OF 12EU AI Act transparency obligations apply from 2 August 2026. Does your publishing workflow have a step for marking AI content?

That date is Article 50 of the EU AI Act. This is a workflow readiness question, not legal advice; your counsel owns the interpretation for your context.

QUESTION 12 OF 12Has anyone checked your AI tool vendor terms for training on your data and for EU data residency?

Twelve questions, five minutes, no email needed to see your score. And if the answer is “do not buy agents yet”, the check will say so. Including about me.
