AI Adoption Maturity Ladder
The AI Adoption Maturity Ladder helps teams talk about where they are in adoption without turning the conversation into a grade, badge, or score.
Training often reveals questions that need structure: which use cases matter, what context is missing, what guardrails are needed, which workflows need review, and what follow-through should happen next. Adoption Tools help organize those questions so teams can make clearer decisions.
Access Status
Public explanation page. Used inside strategy, readiness, training, and pilot conversations when a team needs clearer next-step language.
This tool may be used inside training, pilots, readiness conversations, or advisory work. Public access, downloadable versions, or client-specific versions should be confirmed before use.
What the Ladder Helps Clarify
- Whether teams are still exploring AI use or practicing it in real work.
- Whether guardrails, review habits, and context are clear enough for wider use.
- Whether the next step should be more training, readiness review, a pilot, workflow review, or advisory support.
- Where leadership needs a clearer view before bigger commitments.
What to expect
The ladder helps teams discuss adoption stage in plain English so next steps fit the organization’s current habits, guardrails, confidence, and readiness. It is a planning aid, not a certification, benchmark, audit result, score, or prediction of outcomes.
Tool Versus Service
A service is the facilitated engagement, advisory path, training support, or scoped work Sixth City AI provides. A tool is the worksheet, framework, diagnostic, tracker, matrix, or working asset used inside that work.
The ladder is a planning aid. AI Strategy and Advisory, AI Training, and the Governed AI Adoption Pilot are service paths where the ladder may help organize the conversation.

The useful question is not whether a team is advanced. It is what support fits the way people are actually using AI today.
