AI Readiness / Four Tiers, One Model
One AI Workflow. One Score Out Of 100. One Decision Leadership Can Defend.
Move a single AI workflow from demo energy to a production decision your organization can actually stand behind. A structured evidence model, the same one at every tier, so the number you hand to leadership actually holds up.
AI Readiness Packages
Choose The Level Of Proof Your AI Decision Requires.
Built for retail and ecommerce leaders who need to know whether one AI workflow is ready for a controlled production path. Every tier scores against the same model. Pick the depth that matches where you are and who you're presenting to.

Meet The Kit
Start With The Four Questions That Decide AI Readiness.
In this short introduction, Michel Julien explains how to evaluate one AI workflow before production pressure arrives: the workflow itself, the data behind it, the control model around it, and the operating owners who will keep it accountable. Watch it before opening the package so the worksheets, scorecards, and readout assets connect to one clear production decision.
Name the workflow before choosing tools.
Validate the data the workflow depends on.
Define controls before production approval.
Align owners around a leadership-ready decision.
Workflow
Prove the workflow.
Bring source data, owners, handoffs, exceptions, and review rules into one place before AI scope expands.
Controls
Define the stop points.
Make human review, fallback, recovery, and escalation visible before production pressure arrives.

Not sure which tier fits? Start with the Go/No-Go Screen if all you need is a fast, private signal before you loop anyone else in. Move up to the Production Decision Kit once you're building the business case your organization has to agree on together. Add Leadership Prep when your team already has the evidence and has basically made the call, but the write-up still needs to read like a memo. Choose Advisory Review when you want the entire toolkit already built and you're presenting to people who weren't part of the evaluation.
Inside The Package
Preview The Assets That Turn One Workflow Into A Defensible Decision.
This is not a loose PDF bundle. Each tier is built around one practical path: read the guide, complete the workbook, import or mirror the CSV structure, then turn the evidence into a recommendation someone above you can actually approve. Every tier adds the next thing you need, not a repackaged version of the last one.
18-page guide, 6-lens Readiness Screen, workbook, 6 CSVs, and bonus escalation email template.
27-page guide, full 8-lens Readiness Model, two worked examples, and worked ROI math.
Everything in Core, plus pre-written leadership memo language for all six outcomes.
Full Core Kit, fully worked across two scenarios, senior leadership scorecard, and two readout decks.
Go/No-Go Screen
Score One Workflow Before It Becomes A Meeting.
The Entry Kit gives teams a fast 6-lens screen, a workbook, and import-ready CSVs so one AI workflow can be evaluated before more people are pulled in.
8-Lens Model
Use One Readiness Model From Core Up.
The Core Kit expands the screen into a full production readiness model covering workflow, data, architecture, controls, ownership, economics, and vendor support.
Human Review
Make Review Capacity Part Of The Decision.
The package forces review rules, escalation points, confidence thresholds, and decision owners into view before a workflow is treated as production-ready.
Workbook
Work In The Scorecard, Not A Blank Page.
The editable workbook keeps the team inside a consistent evidence structure instead of letting the readiness conversation drift into scattered opinions.
Advisory Scorecard
See How Senior Leadership Reads The Evidence.
The Advisory Review adds a senior leadership scorecard that shows what evidence is judgment-ready, what remains partial, and what should stop the decision from moving too quickly.
Completed Workbook
Model Your Own Evidence Against A Completed Example.
Advisory includes completed workbook and CSV examples so your team can see the level of specificity expected before the recommendation goes upstairs.
Worked Scenario
Learn From Product Enrichment QA And Customer Service Triage.
The higher tiers include worked examples that show how a real workflow gets framed, scored, and translated into a practical production decision.
Field Guide
Know Why, When, And How Each Row Gets Used.
The workbook guide explains the purpose of each row and column so the package feels guided, not like a folder of disconnected files.
Leadership Deck
Turn The Evidence Into A Readout People Can Follow.
The Advisory Review includes example leadership decks and a blank template so the final readout looks like a decision package, not a worksheet export.
Most teams should start with the Production Decision Kit when the AI workflow already has attention and leadership needs a defensible path forward.

Field proof
What changes when AI gets judged like an operating decision.
It moved the conversation from interest to the evidence leadership needed to make the call.
The scorecard made the risk, ROI, and ownership conversation concrete enough to decide what deserved the next investment.
The 90-day path helped us separate useful automation from work that needed better data and ownership first.

Outcome
Turn AI Debate Into Evidence, Controls, Value Logic, And A Decision Leadership Can Act On.
A strong AI answer can win attention. Production requires more: trusted inputs, visible controls, accountable owners, support paths, and a value case the business can explain when the workflow moves beyond a demo.
Designed for evidence capture, scorecard work, ROI framing, owner agreement, and leadership alignment.
Evidence capture
An AI workflow has executive attention, but source data, fallback rules, human review, and ownership still need to be proven.
Scorecard workbook
The pilot created momentum, yet no one can explain what happens when inputs are stale, wrong, incomplete, or outside policy.
Decision path
Leadership needs a clear pause, narrow, stabilize, pilot, or scale decision before more roadmap capacity is committed.
Decision package
The PDF guide, workbook, CSV import files, and decision path help move one AI workflow from interest to a production decision leaders can defend.
PDF, workbook, and workspace assets built for one leadership-ready decision.
Deliverables
The Decision Assets You Receive.
Each asset is built to move one AI workflow from scattered context to a clear production decision: score, evidence, owners, controls, value logic, and a leadership-ready recommendation.
Get The Production Decision KitSecured checkout. Immediate access to the selected kit assets.

Completed Examples
Completed examples that show how product enrichment QA and customer service triage evidence should read when the package is filled in.
Leadership Readout Decks
Example decks and a blank template that help the Advisory Review tier turn completed evidence into a clean leadership readout.
Evidence Map
Every Input Becomes A Decision Asset.
Instead of scattered opinions, the intake turns the workflow into a clear operating picture leaders can inspect.
Decision At Stake
The exact AI decision leadership needs to make and the business outcome it affects.
Workflow Reality
The real trigger, handoffs, exceptions, and human decisions around the workflow.
Source Evidence
The inputs, owners, refresh cadence, quality checks, and missing data that shape output quality.
Control Model
The review rules, thresholds, fallback path, logs, and stop conditions needed before scale.
Business Case
The cycle time, manual effort, service impact, risk exposure, and ROI logic behind the recommendation.
Owner Agreement
The business, data, technology, support, and vendor owners who keep the workflow accountable.
Scorecard
See What Is Ready, Weak, And Worth Tightening.
A polished answer is not a production decision. The scorecard separates evidence, controls, ownership, and ROI so leadership can see exactly where confidence is strong enough to move.

Scenario Tests
Four Checks Before The Decision Expands.
The kit pressure-tests the workflow against the moments that usually create rework, risk, and leadership hesitation.
The output looks polished but uses stale or incomplete data.
Use the kit to expose source ownership, freshness rules, and review thresholds before scope expands.
The workflow handles the happy path but breaks when exceptions appear.
Use the kit to define fallback rules, manual review, and escalation paths.
The AI action creates downstream rework in OMS, ERP, CRM, POS, PIM, WMS, or support.

Advisor Questions
The Questions Leadership Stops Circling.
Use the kit to turn the discussion into accountable answers before tools, people, or roadmap capacity move.
-
Which single workflow is worth testing first because it carries customer, margin, risk, or delivery impact?
-
What evidence would move leadership from interest to a controlled production decision?
-
Where does the workflow stop if output confidence is low or outside approved boundaries?
-
Which downstream platform feels the impact first if the AI action is wrong?
-
Who owns the production behavior after the demo team moves on and support questions begin?
FAQ
Common decision questions.
Which tier should I choose?
It depends on how much evidence you already have and who you're presenting the decision to. Entry Kit ($79): start here if you're screening a workflow early and haven't gathered evidence yet. Core Decision Kit ($200): choose this when you're ready to build the complete evidence case yourself. Core + Leadership Prep ($449): choose this when your team already has the evidence and is deciding among themselves. Advisory Review ($1,500): choose this when the recommendation needs to look finished for people who weren't part of the evidence-gathering.
Do I need a call first?
No, for any tier, including Advisory Review. Every kit is purchased directly and usable immediately after checkout. Advisory Review does not involve JM Digital reviewing, scoring, or receiving anything you submit. It is a self-serve package. Your own team gathers the evidence and builds the readout using the two completed worked examples and senior leadership scorecard included in the kit.
Is this implementation or delivery work?
No. Each kit helps leadership reach a clearer, evidence-based decision before implementation investment, vendor selection, roadmap commitment, or a larger advisory engagement. None of the four tiers include implementation, configuration, or delivery work.
What happens after checkout?
Secured checkout processes payment and gives you immediate access to the assets in the tier you selected. Checkout buttons go straight to secured checkout, not to another JM Digital page in between.
Is the scope limited?
Yes, on purpose. Each of the four kits is intentionally limited to one decision path, so your team can produce evidence, alignment, and forward movement without the work turning into a broad transformation program.
What should I have ready before starting?
The decision you need to make, the systems and workflow involved, whatever evidence you already have, even if it's incomplete, and the person who will own explaining the recommendation to leadership.
What is the agreement for Advisory Review?
There isn't a separate service agreement. Purchasing Advisory Review gives you immediate access to the complete digital package: the 46-page guide, two completed worked examples covering different scenarios, a senior leadership scorecard, and two example leadership-readout decks plus a template. Your own team uses those completed examples and the scorecard as the standard to build and score your review. JM Digital does not review, score, or receive any evidence you submit, at any point, at any tier.
What's the difference between Core + Leadership Prep and Advisory Review?
Both assume your team is doing the work themselves, the difference is who you're presenting to. Core + Leadership Prep ($449) is for teams already deciding among themselves, it adds pre-written leadership memo language on top of the full Core Decision Kit. Advisory Review ($1,500) is for presenting to people who weren't part of the evaluation, it adds two complete worked examples, a senior leadership scorecard, and two example leadership-readout decks plus a template.
