The Remake Framework
AI CoE Simulator
Objective proof of where each function really stands, not where you think it stands.
What it is
An interactive assessment tool operationalising the AI Stages of Adoption, objectively placing each business function within adoption stages using specific criteria rather than subjective self-assessment, revealing an organisation’s multi-speed AI reality.
Self-assessment flatters: functions report the stage they aspire to, not the one their evidence supports. The simulator replaces the averaged, optimistic self-portrait with an objective placement — function by function, criterion by criterion — so the Board governs the organisation it actually has.
What it examines
Each business function’s real position on the AI Stages of AdoptionGlossaryAI Stages of AdoptionA framework describing five stages of the AI journey, Experimenting, Adopting, Optimising, Transforming and Scaling, plotted on an investment-value graph, recognising that different functions progress simultaneously at different paces.AI Stages of Adoption is a Model within the Remake framework.Find out more →, assessed against specific criteria across the Five PillarsGlossaryFive Pillars of AI CapabilityThe five capability domains of an AI capability model that cut across every level of maturity: Governance and Accountability, Technical Infrastructure, Operational Excellence, Value Realisation and Lifecycle Management, and People, Culture and Adoption. Read together, they tell a Board not whether it has AI but whether it can run it.Five Pillars of AI Capability is a Diagnostic within the Remake framework.Find out more → capability domains rather than subjective judgement. Two modes reflect two realities: uniform progress, where every pillar advances in step, and the multi-speed reality most organisations actually live.
The readings
A stage placement for every function — Experimenting through Scaling — assembled into the organisation’s multi-speed picture: which functions are ahead, which are badged further along than their evidence supports, and where capability imbalances will block the next transition.
Running it
Self-serve, in one sitting: choose uniform progress or the multi-speed reality, then place each function against the stage criteria. Run it before an AISA reading with the leadership team so the conversation starts from placements, not impressions — and re-run it when the evidence changes, not on a schedule.
Run the simulator
The interactive simulator runs in MyMT, my members’ workspace. Explore maturity scenarios, place your functions objectively, and build the roadmap from where you truly are.
See it run in under ten minutes
The simulator walked through on camera: choosing uniform or multi-speed progress, placing each function against the stage criteria, and reading the result, with the full transcript on the watch page.
