Why OpenMalo

Why Our Assessment Is Different

We score honestly, benchmark fairly, and give you a plan β€” not just a diagnosis.

Proprietary Maturity Model
Built from 140+ real assessments, not recycled from a Gartner framework. It reflects what actually predicts AI success.
Industry Benchmarking
Your scores are compared against anonymised peers in your sector so you know if you are ahead or behind.
Actionable, Not Academic
Every gap comes with a specific remediation step, estimated effort, and suggested owner β€” not vague advice.
Two-Week Turnaround
Fast enough to inform a budget cycle or board decision without slowing down your planning process.
Brutally Honest
If you are not ready, we will tell you. Spending six months on foundations is better than spending six months on a failed pilot.
Strategy-Ready Output
The assessment feeds directly into an AI strategy engagement if you choose to proceed β€” no rework needed.

Featured Case Study

Assessment Revealed Hidden Data Debt

Insurance Case Study

Regional Insurer Avoids a $1.8M Mistake

A mid-size insurer was about to sign a two-year contract with an AI platform vendor. Our readiness assessment revealed that their underlying data quality would have made the investment worthless.

$1.8M
Avoided in premature platform licensing
38%
Of key data fields had critical quality issues
6 mo
Spent on data remediation before re-engaging AI
The Challenge

The Challenge

Leadership assumed data was AI-ready because reports ran fine. The reality was far messier.

Claims data had 38% missing or inconsistent fields
No data lineage documentation for any core pipeline
Three separate customer identity systems with no master record
Compliance team had never reviewed AI-specific risk scenarios

Our Approach: We scored the organisation at 2.1 out of 5 on our maturity model β€” well below the threshold for production AI. We delivered a 90-day data remediation plan that the CTO executed before re-engaging AI vendors, ultimately saving $1.8M in premature licensing.
