Twelve questions. Find out where your school's AI decisions are stuck.

Most schools are undecided about AI, and the undecided part is invisible from the inside. This check makes it visible in ten minutes.

Nothing here is technical. These are leadership questions, not technology questions; you can answer every one of them without knowing a single AI tool. And if you are reading this at all, you are already ahead: most schools never ask.

Answer honestly. 'Partly' counts. Your individual answers are confidential; we only ever publish aggregated, anonymized patterns.

Purpose

01. If the board asked tomorrow why the school is doing anything with AI, you could answer in one sentence that names a school problem, not a technology.

Purpose

02. You could name the three AI questions that matter most for your school this year.

Evidence

03. You know how many of your teachers actually use AI in a typical week. Not how many say they do.

Evidence

04. For your last AI-related purchase, someone checked evidence beyond the vendor's own claims.

Ownership

05. Every unresolved AI question at your school has exactly one named owner.

Ownership

06. You could say which AI decisions are yours alone, and which are already delegated with clear limits.

Sequence

07. Your AI work this term follows a deliberate order: policy before pilots, training before curriculum.

Sequence

08. You know what your school is deliberately NOT deciding this year, and why.

Trust

09. You could tell a parent today, in plain words, what student data your AI tools can see.

Trust

10. Staff know when they must disclose AI assistance, and to whom.

Adoption

11. You know which of your paid tools would actually be missed if they disappeared tomorrow.

Adoption

12. Every pilot currently running has a review date and a stop condition.

The check finds where you are stuck. The "AI Decision Map" gets you unstuck.

The AI Decision Map is a three-week diagnostic. Every priority AI question at your school ends in one of six states, with one owner, the evidence behind it, and a review date. Bring this result to the call; it is exactly where we will start.
