Who stands behind it.
Our Mission
Replace guesswork about AI with evidence. Benchpoint measures how organisations really use AI, so leaders know where they stand and what to do next.
ReadyAI Index focuses on a defined baseline, clear strengths and gaps, and practical priorities for school leaders.
Our vision
One trusted, independent benchmark for AI use. It starts with schools and extends to workplaces, so every organisation can measure, improve and compare.
Benchpoint is the company and master brand. ReadyAI Index by Benchpoint is its first customer facing product. Benchpoint Intelligence is the proprietary technology behind its assessments.
We are a small team, and this site was built with AI assisted development.
