§ 1AI operating-model check

Is AI entering your firm with an operating model — or without one?

A 3-minute check for partners at professional firms (10–50 staff). Answer nine questions and get an honest read on where AI already lives in your firm, where it belongs, and what it would take to operate it. Built by the team that runs Managed AI Teams for professional firms.

AI is already entering firms like yours, with or without an operating model. This check tells you which one is happening in yours.

What you’ll learn9 questions · ~3 min
  • Whether AI is already loose in your firm — and where confidential work might be flowing through unmanaged tools.
  • The two or three workflows in a firm like yours where a supervised AI Team earns its keep.
  • Whether you have an owner to operate it after launch — the gap where most AI projects quietly die.
  • A straight operator’s read, not a sales pitch. If you can run this yourself, it’ll tell you so.

Who this is for: owners, partners, managing partners, COOs, ops leads, and the practical tech champion inside a 10–50-person firm. Not “businesses.” You.
