AIMA · The Maturity Accelerator

The world's first AI Maturity Accelerator — compliant with ISO/IEC 42001:2023.

The AI Maturity Accelerator assesses your organisation's AI readiness, scores it, and returns a clear road map. Compliant with ISO/IEC 42001:2023 and aligned with OECD, OWASP, UNESCO RAM, the UN SDGs, Stanford HAI, Oxford Insights, the Global AI Index, SIRI, the WEF and ITU — and the only accredited framework for the Global AI Award.

Global AI Award

The only accredited framework for the Global AI Award — and the main framework behind it.

The AIMA brain

Before AIMA, and after.

AIMA scores your organisation out of 10 across three levels — turning fragmented AI capability into a transformational culture. Pick a level and switch between before and after.

You don't want to be in that 70%. AIMA de-risks your AI initiative from the start — which is why it's a must.

Three levels of maturity

AIMA assesses an organisation's AI readiness across strategy, services and tools, then returns tailored recommendations and a clear road map. It places an organisation at one of three levels of maturity. Each pillar and enabler is scored out of 10.

How AIMA works
1

Assess

Certified AIMA Assessors evaluate your organisation across strategy, services and tools using an AI- and ML-driven diagnostic.

2

Score

AIMA scores each pillar and enabler out of 10 and places the organisation at one of three maturity levels.

3

Road map

You receive tailored recommendations and a clear road map for embedding AI and future-management tools into your culture.

4

Certify

Receive an international certification of your organisation's AI maturity level — recognised proof of where you stand and how far you've come.

Agentic AI & swarm readiness

A dedicated maturity dimension for agentic systems.

Every AIMA engagement also scores the organisation’s readiness for agentic AI and multi-agent/swarm systems — additive to the core maturity score, across six dimensions informed by MIT CISR, Forrester, Salesforce, Microsoft, MuleSoft, Deloitte, CNA, Oxford Insights and Gartner’s published agentic-AI research.

Agent Orchestration & Governance

How agentic workflows are designed, coordinated, and governed — from a single assistant to a fleet of specialised agents working under a defined control plane.

Gartner — AI agent orchestration maturity curve · Microsoft — Copilot/agent maturity model · MuleSoft — API-led agent integration patterns

Multi-Agent / Swarm Architecture Maturity

Technical readiness for multi-agent and swarm-style systems — task decomposition, inter-agent communication, and coordination patterns beyond a single-agent assistant.

MIT CISR — future-ready/agentic operating-model research · Forrester — agentic AI maturity criteria · Dextra Labs — swarm/multi-agent architecture patterns

Human-AI Collaboration Model

How clearly the organisation has defined where agents act autonomously versus where a human remains in or on the loop.

Salesforce — Agentforce trust & autonomy guidance · Deloitte — State of Generative AI (agentic enterprise) research

Agentic Risk & Guardrails

Technical and policy guardrails against agent misbehaviour — prompt injection, tool misuse, runaway task loops, and unintended actions.

CNA — AI governance & risk lens · Gartner — AI TRiSM (trust, risk, security management)

Agentic ROI & Value Realization

Whether agentic initiatives are tied to measured business outcomes, not just technical pilots.

Forrester — agentic AI value realization criteria · Oxford Insights — government AI readiness index (outcomes lens)

Agentic Talent & Skills

Whether the organisation has the in-house capability to design, deploy, and operate agentic systems responsibly.

01Exploratory

The organisation is still exploring what agentic AI and swarm intelligence could mean for its operations — no coordinated multi-agent workflow is in production yet. Priority: define one well-scoped pilot with a human-in-the-loop and clear guardrails before scaling.

02Piloting

The organisation has begun piloting individual agents on discrete tasks, but orchestration, governance, and ROI tracking are still forming. Priority: formalise governance ownership and start measuring value on the pilots already running.

03Scaling

Multiple agents are coordinated on real workflows with defined guardrails, and value is being measured. Priority: invest in swarm-level orchestration infrastructure and expand the talent base to sustain scale.

04Orchestrated

The organisation runs a mature, governed multi-agent/swarm architecture with measured ROI and a trained team. Priority: continuously stress-test guardrails and explore higher-autonomy use cases as trust is earned.

Framework & standards alignment

Every report is benchmarked against named governance standards.

Alongside the maturity score, every AIMA report compares the organisation’s scored results against the governance frameworks that matter for AI accountability today — flagging strong alignment, partial alignment, or a genuine gap for each.
