ENTERPRISE AI MATURITY AUDIT • NISOL SCORE™

Enterprise AI Maturity Audit: The Benchmark Boards Trust.

Nisol Score™ is our Enterprise AI Maturity Audit. Not an unvetted quiz. Architect-validated against 62 proprietary dimensions and 15 core capabilities.

AI Maturity Scored 1.0 to 5.0: Reactive (1) → Emerging (2) → Operational (3) → Scaled (4) → Autonomous (5). Architect-validated baseline included in Nisol 360™.

Not a Quiz. An Enterprise Benchmark.

Consumer AI quizzes give you a vanity badge. NISOL SCORE™ gives your board a hard financial and architectural diagnostic.

15 Capabilities

From Leadership to Token Economics.

Each scored 1–5 against 62 proprietary diagnostic dimensions. No subjective opinions. Grounded purely in architecture artifacts, logs, and cost sheets.

5 Maturity Levels

Reactive (1) → Autonomous (5).

73% of Indian and global enterprises are stuck at Reactive. 2.5 is the failure cliff — below it, 73% of initiatives never reach production.

73% Failure Cliff at < 2.5
8 Industries

BFSI to Public Sector.

Median 2.8. Leader 4.2. You do not compete against a generic AI hype cycle. You compete against your specific industry leader's cost and security posture.

Like S&P for corporate credit. NISOL SCORE™ for enterprise AI readiness.

Audit Insight

Enterprises in BFSI & Fintech frequently invest in downstream copilot licenses before hardening basic data contracts. This creates an unbudgeted 3.8x token expansion.

Critical Architecture Rule

The 2.5 Failure Cliff

Organizations scoring below 2.5 lack continuous evals and PII masking contracts. Moving from PoC to enterprise scale causes runaway token charges and governance rejection.
