The WorkPath Assessment

A new way to measure AI readiness.
Not a quiz. Not a certification. A structured, scenario-based assessment that reveals how your people actually think when AI is part of the work.

15 Scenarios

<30 Minutes

AI readiness is already taking shape in the flow of work. The question is whether you can see it.

For the Individual

You're already developing instincts for how to work with AI — when to trust it, when to push back, and how to direct it toward something useful. But without a clear picture of where you stand, you can't leverage your strengths or close your gaps with much precision. You're advancing, but you may not know how far you've come.

For the Organization

Your people may be further along than you think — or they may need development you haven't targeted yet. Either way, you're making AI investments without a clear view of the readiness you already have. You can't capitalize on what you can't see, and you can't develop what you can't measure.

For the Workforce Developer

Whether you're a university, a training program, or a workforce agency, your job is to build AI readiness in people. But right now you may have no credible way to show where someone started, how far they've come, or what your program actually produced. The work is real. The evidence often isn't.

The WorkPath Assessment makes it visible.

A readiness assessment that produces a profile, not just a score.

The WorkPath Assessment places respondents inside realistic workplace situations and reveals how they think. There are no right answers and no trick questions. The result is a personalized written profile — not a pass/fail grade, but a clear picture of where someone is now and what their next growth could look like.

It adapts to job role and work context, so what an entry-level analyst sees is calibrated differently from what a senior project manager sees.

"We're not testing what people know about AI — we're looking at how they think when AI tools are part of the picture."

Three tiers. Each one goes deeper.

01

Baseline

Everyday Situations

Five scenarios drawn from common workplace moments — the kind where AI tools show up in ordinary work. These establish how someone thinks about AI when it's just part of getting something done.

02

Contextualized

Role-Specific Work

Five scenarios grounded in the respondent's actual work context — the tasks, decisions, and situations they'd encounter in their specific role. The profile adapts based on job type.

03

Adaptive

Where It Gets Interesting

Five scenarios generated from the respondent's earlier answers — probing areas where their thinking was most revealing or where the picture needs more depth. No two profiles are identical.

What We Measure

Three dimensions of AI readiness.

Every response is read across three dimensions. Together, they give a complete picture — not just whether someone uses AI, but how well they understand it, integrate it, and reason through it under real conditions.

Grounded in multiple established AI literacy frameworks

Orientation

How well they understand AI

Does the person have an accurate mental model for what AI tools actually do — and don't do? Do they understand why confident output can still be wrong?

Emerging
Developing
Demonstrating
Integration

How effectively they use AI

Can they describe how they'd actually direct AI to get useful output? Do they think in workflows, not just one-off prompts? Do they know what to do with what the AI gives them?

Emerging
Developing
Demonstrating
Judgment

How well they reason under pressure

Do they calibrate their scrutiny to what's at stake? Can they recognize when caution matters more than speed? Do they understand the consequences of getting it wrong?

Emerging
Developing
Demonstrating

What you receive for each respondent.

Every completed assessment produces a personalized written profile — generated with AI, grounded in the respondent's own words, and calibrated to their role and work context.

📄
Written Profile Report A multi-page narrative covering all three dimensions — what the person is doing well, where they have room to grow, and specific next steps.
📊
Dimension Placement A clear rating on each of the three dimensions — Orientation, Integration, and Judgment — at Emerging, Developing, or Demonstrating.
🏢
Organizational Observations Patterns from the individual's responses that may point to organizational training needs, policy gaps, or workflow opportunities.
🎯
Highest-Leverage Next Move One concrete, specific habit or action the respondent can take immediately to advance their readiness.
