Enterprise Debt Index

Answer twelve questions and get a read on each foundation, which debt is your binding constraint, and the action your deal type calls for first.

CEO Diagnostic

The CEO Diagnostic is a 10-minute self-assessment that scores where technology is protecting or eroding enterprise value across three dimensions: Value Protection, Value Creation, and Exit Readiness. Built from CCA's PRISM and CLEAR frameworks, it shows a CEO where the number is moving before a buyer's diligence room asks the same questions. Nine in ten CEOs already report some AI value, per BCG's 2026 CEO survey; the open question this diagnostic answers is whether your company is positioned to scale it or stuck at pilot.

AI Governance Quick Scan

The AI Governance Quick Scan is the fast version of CCA's full readiness assessment. It runs 20 questions instead of 65, one per control domain across the same five pillars: Data Trust, Model Governance, Agent Autonomy, Enterprise Operations, and Responsible AI. It takes about five minutes and gives a directional read on where governance holds and where it doesn't, before you commit the time for the full evidence-mapped assessment.

AI Governance Readiness Assessment

The AI Governance Readiness Assessment is a 65-question maturity diagnostic across five pillars: Data Trust, Model Governance, Agent Autonomy, Enterprise Operations, and Responsible AI. Each control is scored on a five-level maturity ladder, from non-existent to optimized, mapped to frameworks including NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and the EU AI Act. It shows where governance holds and where it doesn't, before a board review, regulator, or acquirer's diligence team asks the same questions.

Board AI Readiness Scorecard

The Board AI Readiness Scorecard measures one thing most board packs never test: whether the board is governing the company's use of AI. Answer eighteen questions across four oversight domains (director fluency, governance structure, policy and risk appetite, and reporting visibility) and get a read on where your board can see, where it is blind, and the first move your board role calls for.

Agent ROI Calculator

The Agent ROI Calculator estimates the annual capacity an AI agent (a digital twin of a recurring workflow) could recover for your company or portfolio. It prices recoverable labor, rework, and growth absorption in dollars, then classifies what stands between you and that number as GATE, PRICE, THESIS, or LEVER.

AI Cost Recovery Calculator

The AI Cost Recovery Calculator prices how much of your annual AI spend is recoverable, using the 6 Cost Layers: API, Infrastructure, Tooling, People, Waste, and Risk. You enter the spend you can see; the calculator derives the layers no invoice shows and returns an annual recovery figure, with every layer classified the way a diligence memo would treat it (GATE, PRICE, THESIS, or LEVER).

Seven categories, each classified the way a diligence memo would treat them (GATE, PRICE, THESIS, or LEVER) plus a five-year cost of inaction.
