Where do you
actually stand?

Ten steps, four minutes. You get a score out of 100, a tier on a four-level ladder, a percentile against people in your role and age band, and a straight answer about which of our programs — if any — is worth your money.

Runs in your browser. Nothing is published. The scoring maths is open — it is written out below.

How it's scored

No black box. Here is the whole formula.

Most "AI readiness quizzes" are a lead form with a progress bar. This one has maths behind it, so we are publishing the maths. You can check our work.

50%

Skills

20 skills on a four-tier ladder, weighted by tier. Your points ÷ 49 × 100.

30%

Usage

The mean of three normalised answers: confidence, hours a week using AI, hours a week it saves you.

20%

Tools

min(tools ÷ 7, 1) × 100. Seven tools in regular use is full marks.

Skill tiers and their weights
TierSkillsWeightMax pointsWhat it means
Foundations5×15You can get a useful answer out of a chat window on purpose, not by luck.
Practitioner6×212You have a repeatable workflow and you know why it works.
Advanced4×312You build things other people use, and you can debug them.
Architect5×420You design systems, measure them, and own what happens in production.
Total20—49One Architect skill is worth four Foundations skills.
Earning a tier

You earn a tier by checking at least half its skills, rounded up — Foundations ≥3/5, Practitioner ≥3/6, Advanced ≥2/4, Architect ≥3/5. Your level is the highest tier you earned, which means a scattered profile scores points without climbing.

Percentile, and its honest caveat

Percentile is a normal CDF against a peer mean adjusted for your role and age band (baseline mean 40, SD 16). It is a modelled baseline, not observed data, and the test says so on your result screen. As real responses accumulate it gets replaced.

Four minutes. Then you'll know.

And if the answer is that you do not need a course yet, the test will tell you that too.

Before you start

Four questions about the test.

What is the Benchmark and why does it matter?
A free 10-step test that scores you out of 100 across skills, usage and tools, then places you on a four-tier ladder from Foundations to Architect. It takes four minutes and it is the honest way to pick a course — including the answer 'you do not need one yet'.
Do I have to give my email to see my score?
No. The score, the tier and the percentile appear on screen as soon as you finish. You can leave an email if you want the breakdown sent to you, and that is the only reason we ask.
How is the percentile worked out?
It is modelled against a peer group built from your role and age band, not measured from other people who took this test. We say so on the page and in the film, because a percentile that sounds measured but is modelled is the easiest number on a site like this to mislead with.
What should I do with a low score?
Nothing dramatic. A low score usually means you stopped at a tier rather than that you are behind — the useful part is seeing which tier. The ₹199 session is built to move exactly the tiers the test says you are missing.

Scored lower than you expected?

That is the normal result and it is the useful one. The ₹199 session is built to move exactly the tiers the test says you are missing.
