THE PRACTICAL AI READINESS & OPPORTUNITY ASSESSMENT
Is your organization ready to put AI to work in facility assessment and capital planning?
HOW TO USE THIS ASSESSMENT
For each category, select the statement that best describes your organization's current state.
Score each area:
1 — Early
The process is primarily manual, fragmented, or inconsistent.
2 — Developing
Some digital tools, standards, or processes are in place, but significant gaps remain.
3 — Ready
The process is structured, connected, repeatable, and positioned to take advantage of AI-assisted capabilities.
Add your five scores together to calculate your Practical AI Readiness Score out of 15.
How confident are you in the quality and consistency of your facility data?
□ 1 — EARLY
Facility information is spread across spreadsheets, PDFs, reports, emails, or other disconnected sources. Data may be incomplete, inconsistent, or difficult to validate.
□ 2 — DEVELOPING
We have established data standards and centralized information in some areas, but gaps, inconsistencies, or outdated information remain.
□ 3 — READY
Our facility and asset data is structured, accessible, consistently maintained, and trusted by the people who use it for planning.
Ask your team:
Can we confidently answer questions about the condition, needs, and lifecycle of our facilities without manually reconciling information from multiple sources?
Score: _____ / 3
How efficiently can your organization collect and document facility condition information?
□ 1 — EARLY
Assessments rely heavily on manual documentation, spreadsheets, paper, or disconnected tools. Field teams spend significant time entering, organizing, and cleaning information.
□ 2 — DEVELOPING
We use digital tools for some assessment activities, but data collection, documentation, and reporting still involve significant manual work.
□ 3 — READY
Our assessment workflows are digital, standardized, repeatable, and structured to produce usable data quickly.
Ask your team:
How much of our assessment process is spent documenting information versus actually evaluating facility conditions and making professional judgments?
Score: _____ / 3
Can your facility information move seamlessly between assessment, asset management, and planning?
□ 1 — EARLY
Facility information lives in separate systems or files. Teams frequently export, copy, re-enter, or reconcile information manually.
□ 2 — DEVELOPING
Some systems are integrated, or information can be shared, but important data still exists in silos.
□ 3 — READY
Facility, asset, assessment, project, cost, and planning information can be connected and accessed across the workflows that depend on it.
Ask your team:
If an asset's condition changes today, how easily can that information influence our priorities and capital plan?
Score: _____ / 3
How objectively and transparently do you determine what needs to happen first?
□ 1 — EARLY
Priorities are largely based on individual judgment, urgency, politics, or whichever need is most visible at the moment.
□ 2 — DEVELOPING
We use some objective criteria—such as condition, risk, cost, or FCI—but the process isn't consistently applied across the portfolio.
□ 3 — READY
We use consistent, transparent, data-driven criteria to evaluate needs and establish priorities across facilities and projects.
Ask your team:
If leadership asks, “Why should we fund this project before that one?” can we answer with objective data?
Score: _____ / 3
How effectively can you model different funding strategies and future scenarios?
□ 1 — EARLY
Capital planning relies primarily on static lists, spreadsheets, or annual exercises. It is difficult to understand the long-term consequences of changing priorities or funding levels.
□ 2 — DEVELOPING
We can evaluate some funding scenarios, but the process is time-consuming or requires significant manual work.
□ 3 — READY
We can quickly model funding scenarios, evaluate tradeoffs, understand deferred needs, and see how different strategies affect long-term facility conditions.
Ask your team:
If your available capital budget changed tomorrow, how quickly could you show leadership what should change in the plan—and why?
Score: _____ / 3
WHERE DOES YOUR ORGANIZATION GO FROM HERE?
If your score revealed opportunities around data quality, facility assessment, prioritization, or capital planning, the next step is to look at how those processes can work together.
Intellis Foundation connects facility condition data with prioritization, scenario planning, and long-range capital strategy—helping organizations move from assessment data to actionable capital decisions.
With Foundation, facility teams can bring together:
FACILITY CONDITION DATA
Create a structured, centralized view of facility needs and conditions.
AI-ASSISTED WORKFLOWS
Reduce manual effort and help teams work more efficiently with facility information.
FCI-BASED PRIORITIZATION
Use condition and other objective factors to create transparent, defensible priorities.
FUNDING SCENARIOS
Evaluate different investment strategies and understand the impact of changing funding levels.
LONG-RANGE CAPITAL PLANNING
Turn individual facility needs into a strategic, data-backed capital plan.
SEE WHAT PRACTICAL AI COULD LOOK LIKE FOR YOUR FACILITIES
Your AI strategy should start with your facility data—not with the technology.

Turn facility condition data into strategy.
YOUR NEXT STEP
AI Isn't the Strategy. Better Decisions Are.
The goal of AI in facility management isn't to use AI simply because it's new.
It's to help facility professionals:
Capture better data.
See patterns faster.
Prioritize more objectively.
Model more scenarios.
Build more defensible capital plans.
The most valuable AI applications connect these activities rather than treating them as isolated tasks.
That's why the foundation matters.
