Algorithmic Readiness Audit

Definition

The Alogorithmic Readiness Audit is a proprietary diagnostic tool developed by Paul F. Accornero that assesses whether a brand’s products, content, and governance are prepared to perform in AI-mediated discovery and purchase journeys.

Executive Summary

Why it matters: In a world where your brand is a data set about to be audited by a machine, this tool is the key to identifying a company's most critical vulnerabilities and competitive gaps.

The Five Pillars: The audit provides a clear, actionable framework for leaders to benchmark their organization and develop a clear action plan.

Implications: This tool re-frames the conversation from "will AI take our jobs?" to "what must our organization do now to win?" providing an essential bridge between a theoretical problem and a practical solution.

Strategic Imperative: This is the tool that translates the grand strategy of a full enterprise-wide transformation into a concrete management discipline.

Example in Practice

A CEO uses the Algorithmic Readiness Audit to discover that their company's supply chain data, while robust internally, is not structured for external-facing API calls. They find a critical gap in their "Data" pillar, revealing a strategic vulnerability that would make them invisible to an AI shopping agent that prioritizes verifiable logistics.
