Sextant

See where AI can create value — and what it will take to get there.

Sextant combines structured assessments, organizational surveys, targeted interviews, and document analysis to give leaders an evidence-backed view of AI readiness. It surfaces the gap between perception and reality, identifies promising workflows, and turns the findings into a practical roadmap.

How It Works

From scattered signals to a decision-ready roadmap.

Sextant brings individual skill signals and company-level operating evidence into one view. Broad surveys and assessments reveal how people use AI today; selective interviews and document analysis add context around workflows, constraints, and risk. Leaders receive a clear picture of current readiness and a prioritized set of opportunities to validate.

  • 01

    Individual Readiness

    Role-aware profiles show how people use AI today, where judgment or verification gaps remain, and which skills would make the biggest difference in their work.

  • 02

    Organizational Readiness

    Cohort-level views compare leadership perception with evidence from the organization, highlighting adoption, data, governance, and operating-model gaps.

  • 03

    Workflow Opportunity Map

    Candidate workflows are assessed for business value, feasibility, data readiness, risk, and adoption requirements — not just technical novelty.

  • 04

    Leadership Roadmap

    The strongest opportunities become a sequenced roadmap with the questions, evidence, and next steps needed before leaders fund a build.

The Readout

What we hand your leadership.

Sextant scores your organization across seven pillars, then plots where leadership thinks you are against the reality on the ground.

Empty until your team fills it in — that is the point. We plot where you actually are, not where the brochure says you should be. Sample data shown is illustrative.
