Free AI indices from Benchmark Lab
Understand where you are. Decide what comes next.
Benchmark Lab develops indices that help people and organisations understand how they work and where to focus next. Starting with AI, it is being developed to cover the wider aspects of running a small or medium-sized business.
Its first three indices explore personal AI use, organisational AI adoption and AI governance. All are free to take and currently in Research beta. You can use them without booking training or buying advice.
Three perspectives
Start with the perspective that matters to you.
Explore your own working habits, your organisation’s adoption of AI or how it governs AI. Each index asks different questions and gives you a different view.
Personal AI Index
For anyone, whether you use AI every day or haven’t started yet. Reflect on how you use AI at work and how carefully, with your own results across Use and Care.
AI Adoption Index
For organisations. Examine Readiness and Use: how prepared your organisation is to adopt AI and how AI is becoming part of everyday work. Receive a free organisation report.
AI Governance Index
For organisations. Examine Policy and Practice: the responsibilities, rules and everyday arrangements that guide AI use. Receive a free organisation report.
Benchmark Lab and The AI Lab
A shared purpose. Clear roles.
Benchmark Lab develops the indices
It provides the questions, scoring and findings that help you examine current practice. You continue to Benchmark Lab to take an index and receive your results.
The AI Lab helps you put learning into practice
We provide hands-on AI training and strategic advice. As a Benchmark Lab delivery partner, we offer access to the indices as a useful starting point. Any training or advice is your choice.
A growing network of partners
Benchmark Lab is developing a network of delivery partners with different expertise, local knowledge and customer relationships. The AI Lab brings practical AI training and strategic advice to that network.
Benchmark Lab and The AI Lab are trading names of The AI Adoption Lab Limited: one business, with distinct roles.
Findings you can use
Your starting point. Your choice of next steps.
Useful on their own
You can reflect on your findings and act on them yourself. Taking an index does not commit you to training or advice. Any invitation to find support is separate from your report and entirely optional.
A basis for discussion
The indices reflect the answers you give. During Research beta, treat findings as indicative. They help you ask useful questions; they do not certify competence or compliance.
Return to review changes
You can repeat an index as your practice develops. Check that versions and scoring are comparable, and consider changes alongside real-world evidence. Each index page explains more.
Understand what is shared
Personal results and organisation reports have different access and sharing arrangements. Each index page explains these, with a link to Benchmark Lab’s privacy notice.
Understanding your results
What Research beta means for you.
These indices are still being tested and improved. Results reflect the answers you give and help you decide what to explore next. They are not a test of competence, an independent audit or proof of compliance.
When you repeat an index, check its version and who answered. Questions and scoring can change. Compare the findings with evidence from your work; a higher score alone does not show that training caused an improvement.
Taking an index does not give an employer or partner access to your individual personal results. Each index page explains the sharing rules that apply.
