0–10 · Foundations first
Typical signs: information in inboxes, policies by deal, no timings. The fastest wins are unglamorous: one product source, written rules, a measured baseline. AI built on top of that will hold. AI built before it won't.
Resources · AI readiness assessment
How ready is your operation for AI, honestly?
Ten questions about your data, workflows and governance. Answer for the business as it runs today, not the one in next year's plan. You'll get a score out of 30, a band, and what we would do next in your position.
Self-assessment · 10 questions
The assessment
Pick the answer closest to how things work on an ordinary Tuesday. There are no trick questions, and a low score is useful information, not a verdict.

Why these ten questions
Most AI projects in travel don’t stall because of the model. They stall because availability is a day old, a cancellation policy lives in three email threads, or nobody knows how long a proposal takes today, so nobody can say whether the new one is better.
So the assessment weighs the unglamorous things: where your information lives, how fresh it is, whether your rules are written down, how your systems talk, and who is accountable when software drafts something a traveler will see. One looks outward, at what AI assistants already say about you. None of them asks which model you use.
What the bands mean
Most businesses we meet land in the middle band, and most have one or two questions that score far below the rest. Those low scores matter more than the total.
11–20 · Ready for a focused pilot
Typical signs: a main system of record, some integrations, a few sanctioned AI uses. You can run one workflow through an 8–12 week pilot with a real baseline and see what changes.
21–30 · Ready to go agent-facing
Typical signs: structured content and policies, availability that updates within minutes, a named owner for AI decisions. You can expose inventory through Agent Gateway with agent-safe checkout.
How it works
Next steps, whatever your score
- 01
Take it twice
Ask an operations lead and a technical lead to answer separately. The questions you disagree on are the most useful output of the whole exercise.
- 02
Time one workflow
Pick the workflow with the lowest score and time it for two weeks. Then run the numbers through the ROI calculator.
- 03
Check your agent-readiness gaps
If you scored low on policies or availability, the agent-ready checklist breaks those areas into concrete items.
- 04
