The Agentic AI Readiness Framework

A six-dimension assessment for enterprises preparing to put AI agents into real workflows.

Most organisations today are built around people. Agentic AI breaks that assumption — you are no longer just using AI, you are asking semi-autonomous systems to monitor, decide, and act across your workflows.

The Caden Tech Agentic AI Readiness Framework helps you answer one question: are you ready to put an agent in the org chart? Six practical dimensions, scoring rubrics, and a NIST AI RMF / ISO/IEC 42001 crosswalk for your risk and compliance teams.

How to score

Score each question from 1 to 5. 1 — Not at all. 3 — Partially. 5 — Yes, consistently. Five dimensions out of 25. Governance is weighted at 30 (six questions).
