CDI Assessments

# Comprehensive Assessment

A full, evidence-verified read

Your AI assistant, your team, your business case and your operations, scored against all 31 CDI standards: the baseline for the decisions ahead.

## The Comprehensive Assessment

Find out what's wrong. Then put it right.

  
Comprehensive is for organisations where the decisions ahead justify a verified baseline: scaling conversational AI across markets or channels, or introducing LLMs into something that already works. Every one of the 31 standards is scored and the score is backed by evidence, not impression.

Form submitted

Thanks, we’ll be in touch soon.

### What we do

An extended diagnostic workshop, onsite or online, covering your AI assistant, vision and roadmap, business case, planning, design and implementation practices, and your KPIs and metrics; with the documents and data behind each verified.

### What you get

A verified scorecard across all 31 CDI standards and six domains, and a roadmap for getting it right at scale: what to put right, in what order, and what good looks like at the next level.

### Who it's for

Organisations scaling conversational AI or introducing LLMs, where the decisions ahead justify a verified baseline; leadership teams that need a score they can defend to a board.

### What happens next

The roadmap is yours to act on, with or without us. [Continuous](/conversational-ai-for-business/continuous-assessment) keeps the score moving quarter by quarter against this baseline; [consulting](/conversational-ai-for-business/consulting) takes the items in priority order.

## Keep it moving: the Continuous Assessment

A Comprehensive baseline is worth more if you measure against it. Continuous re-scores your priority standards each quarter, so maturity becomes something you manage rather than something you measured once.

## FAQs

### What does 'evidence-verified' mean?

Every score is backed by something we have seen: the conversations, the reports you run, the documents behind your roadmap and business case, the way the team actually works. [Light](/conversational-ai-for-business/light-assessment) and [Focused](/conversational-ai-for-business/focused-assessment) rely more on what you tell us in the workshop; Comprehensive checks it.

### How long does it take?

Longer than Focused, which is 15 working days; how much longer depends on how much evidence there is to verify and how quickly we can get it. We confirm the timescale with you before we start.

### What do we need to give you?

Access to the assistant, a sample of real conversations, the reports you already run, the documents behind your roadmap and business case, and your leads' time for the extended workshop. The more we can see, the more the scorecard is worth.

### Do we need Comprehensive before Continuous?

Yes. [Continuous](/conversational-ai-for-business/continuous-assessment) re-scores you each quarter against a Comprehensive baseline; without the baseline there is nothing to measure movement against.
