Effective May 2026 · Reviewed quarterly
Question 1 of 6
Do you have a working product with paying users right now?
A paid pilot or two paying customers count as yes.
Question 2 of 6
Can you describe the AI feature in one sentence with a specific user, a specific input, and a specific output?
Example. Support agents paste a customer message, the assistant returns a draft reply that cites our help docs.
Question 3 of 6
Where does the data your AI feature would use actually live, and can your team query it today?
If the data is in a vendor product you don't have export rights to, that is a data problem, not an AI problem.
Question 4 of 6
How will you tell if the AI feature is working well enough to ship?
Plain-English version. What will you measure, and who will look at the outputs?
Question 5 of 6
Who would own the AI feature in production after launch?
An AI feature without an owner is a one-shot demo, not a feature.
Question 6 of 6
What is your budget and timeline for this AI feature?
Decides between a 1 to 2 week audit, a 6 to 10 week build, or a larger capability engagement.

About this scorecard
Built by Sagar Sutaria, who delivers AI integration engagements through QuantaLynk. The scorecard scores six dimensions and routes to one of four shapes: not yet, AI integration audit, build engagement, or fractional CTO fit check. The recommendation is the same thing Sagar would say to a founder asking the same question on a discovery call.
