This quiz is grounded in direct conversations with heads of paid media, operations, and data leads from marketing agencies and multi-location businesses that we've talked to over the span of January to June 2026.
We synthesized seven key areas that these personnels cared most about when it came to getting their data ready for AI, and each role's questions are scored across them:
1. Consolidation: where your siloed marketing data lives and how it gets pulled into a single source of truth
2. Structure: whether your data is organized the way your business actually operates, by client, region, or account
3. Definitions: whether metrics like MER, ROAS, or CAC mean the same thing everywhere, or get recalculated differently each time
4. Reliability: whether a broken source gets caught before it reaches a report, or after
5. Scale: whether onboarding a new client or location is a rebuild or a non-event
6. Access: how fast someone can actually get an answer, and whether they need you to get it
7. AI trust: whether two people asking the same question get the same number back
Your answers are scored and mapped to one of four readiness stages, from Manual & Exposed to AI-Ready. The stronger your foundation across seven dimensions, the more useful AI actually becomes on top of it.
