- Limited AI understanding across organization
- No formal governance or strategy
- Few or no dedicated resources or tools

Level 2: Exploratory
Characteristics: Starting to invest in AI pilots and proof-of-concepts with emerging awareness and capability.
- Initial AI training and experimentation
- Focused pilots in specific business areas
- Emerging governance and ethical considerations
- Small dedicated team or champion group
- Data quality beginning to be addressed
Level 3: Developing
Characteristics: Multiple AI initiatives deployed; processes, governance, and capability building are formalized.
- AI integrated into select business processes
