Methodology, not guesswork

Much more than an AI-generated report

Anyone can ask a chatbot for an opinion. A Prime AI Score follows a fixed, public method: in the Pro assessment a formula sets the score; AI estimates the quick scan and writes the report text.

  1. Evidence
  2. Fixed rules
  3. Score and level
  4. Expert review
  5. Verifiable certificate

A public, yearly methodology

Six areas, defined criteria and fixed level thresholds, published and frozen for the whole year (2027 edition). Every company is measured with the same yardstick.

Pro scores come from a formula, not from AI

In the Pro assessment, scores are calculated by formula from your answers to 60 defined statements. The quick-scan score is an AI estimate from public information under strict evidence rules: what cannot be seen scores low, and every area carries a confidence rating. In both, AI writes the report text.

Built on recognised frameworks

The criteria follow the EU AI Act (risk categories, AI literacy, transparency), the GDPR and the maturity-model principles used in management consulting.

Human expertise and oversight

The methodology is designed and reviewed by AI consultants. Any result can be checked by a person on request, and the Verified certificate is issued only after an expert has reviewed the evidence.

Benchmarks with a stated source

Your score is compared with your industry. Until we hold at least 10 completed assessments in an industry, the average is an AI estimate and is marked as such; after that it is calculated from our anonymised assessments.

Verifiable and dated

Every certificate has a unique ID, a QR code, a public verification page and a 365-day validity. For investors and tenders, the Verified certificate is the strongest, because an expert has reviewed the evidence.

Methodology

Why Prime AI Score?

Anyone can ask an AI about themselves. Others believe a Prime AI Score.

About 95% of organisations saw no measurable return from their generative AI pilots. We help you land in the other 5%, with your colleagues, not instead of them.
Source: MIT NANDA, “The GenAI Divide: State of AI in Business 2025” – about 95% of organisations saw no measurable return from their generative AI pilots.

A score you cannot buy

One public methodology for everyone. The operator also provides consulting, but buying from us never changes a score.

Comparable

We show where you stand against other companies in your industry: estimated while data is thin, then calculated from our own database.

Verifiable

Every certificate has a public verification page with an ID and an expiry date.

Clear about what rests on what

The quick scan is an outside estimate, the Pro assessment rests on your own answers, and the Verified certificate is reviewed by an expert against evidence. For investors and tenders, Verified is the strongest proof.

Why now

The EU AI Act already applies to companies that use AI

Not only AI developers: if your staff use AI tools at work – from ChatGPT to Copilot – your company may count as a deployer under the Act, with duties such as supporting AI literacy. Exactly what applies depends on how you use AI.

Since 2 February 2025

AI literacy for your staff (Article 4)

Companies that use AI must take measures to develop the AI literacy of the people who work with it. Since July 2026 the duty is to support it with suitable measures – good practice is to be able to show what you did.

Since 2 August 2026

Transparency (Article 50)

In defined cases people must be told when they talk to an AI system, and certain AI-generated content must be marked or disclosed. Check which cases apply to you.

From 2 December 2027

High-risk uses

Strict requirements apply to AI used for example in recruitment or credit decisions. Preparing takes time – start with knowing where you stand.

Illustrative examples based on real-world situations, not specific clients; the scores are illustrative too. We will publish our first real case studies with our clients’ approval.

Manufacturing · 80 peopleTypical example

Quality control with AI

Starting point34Exploratory
12 months later63Optimized

Starting situation: Defects are sorted out by hand at the end of the shift, and much of the production data is on paper.

  • Digital data capture on the production line
  • AI-based defect detection on one product family, as a pilot
  • Training for shift leaders and quality staff

Typical result: Defects are found earlier, manual checks go down, and the pilot shows whether to scale up.

Who helped: Prime AI consultant and a data scientist from the expert network

Accounting firm · 25 peopleTypical example

Less manual entry, governed AI use

Starting point41Operational
12 months later72Optimized

Starting situation: Lots of manual invoice entry and repeated client questions; staff use ChatGPT with personal accounts and no rules.

  • AI usage policy and AI literacy training (AI Act, Article 4)
  • Invoice processing automated with the existing accounting software
  • Internal knowledge assistant for frequent questions

Typical result: Several hours a week freed up per person, with documented and safe AI use.

Who helped: Prime AI consultant (training, policy) and an automation expert

Logistics · 150 peopleTypical example

The road to AI Ready certification

Starting point55Operational
12 months later83Pioneering · AI Ready

Starting situation: Several AI experiments run without an owner or a shared plan; large customers already ask about AI in tenders.

  • AI strategy and an owner in management
  • Route planning and inventory forecasting with AI
  • Training at every site, then a Pro assessment and Verified certificate

Typical result: A Verified AI Ready certificate to show in tenders and to partners.

Who helped: Prime AI consultant and a partner consultancy

HR consultancy · 40 peopleTypical example

Getting ready for the AI Act

Starting point38Exploratory
12 months later66Optimized

  • Inventory of AI uses and their risk category
  • Transparency rules in client and candidate communication (Article 50)
  • Training for managers and staff, preparing the high-risk use

Typical result: A clear view of which rules apply to which AI use, and preparation started in good time.

For companies

You have your score. Who can help you improve it?

Tell us what you need. Our expert desk decides with you whether we help directly, bring in a vetted AI expert or ask partner companies for offers. You just choose.

For partners

Are you an AI expert or consultancy?

Register and receive requests from companies that already know what they need. It costs you nothing: the client pays the 8% platform fee.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from asking an AI chatbot about my company?

A chatbot gives an opinion. We measure everyone with the same public methodology, compare you with your industry (anonymised data of assessed companies once we have enough, an AI estimate until then), and anyone can verify the certificate.

How accurate is the free quick scan?

It is an outside-in estimate based on public information. The Pro assessment is more detailed and rests on your own answers (self-reported); the Verified certificate adds an expert review of your evidence.

How long is an assessment valid?

365 days. After that a new assessment is needed. The quick report and the Pro assessment are free, so re-measuring costs nothing; renewing the Verified certificate is quoted individually.

What happens to our company data?

We process it under the GDPR, we never sell it, and it only appears anonymised in industry benchmarks.

Who is behind Prime AI Score?

Prime AI Score is operated by Prime AI Tech Consulting LLC, which also provides AI consulting. Our founder has 25 years of experience in leadership, coaching and organisational change.
