How is the ARETE Readiness Index score calculated?

Each respondent completes a 20-question instrument across five pillars - AI Readiness, Strategic Clarity, Systems Thinking, Digital Asset Ownership, and Income Resilience. Responses are scored 1-5, normalized to 0-100 per pillar, and averaged into a composite score that maps to one of four readiness archetypes: Reactive & Vulnerable (0-25), Aware But Unprepared (26-45), Emerging Strategist (46-65), or Positioned For Acceleration (66-100).

How often is the ARETE Readiness Index updated?

The aggregate index is recalculated monthly as new assessments are submitted. The methodology is reviewed every 6 months. The published page holds a dated snapshot so cited figures remain stable between updates.

Who conducts the ARETE Readiness assessment?

The professional assessment is self-administered through the 2030 Readiness Assessment instrument. Institutional assessments are conducted by ARETE's diagnostic team using the same five-pillar framework, extended with workflow audit and document review.

Is the ARETE Readiness Index free or paid?

The professional 2030 Readiness Assessment is free. Institutional diagnostics and bespoke readiness reports are paid engagements.
