Agent Readiness Score
Projection: Enterprises may screen automation candidates with one diagnostic spanning data access, reversibility, policy clarity, and economic value. Deployment friction makes the need credible; a shared instrument remains unproven. Real adoption means buyers use comparable scores to approve some workflows and reject others before implementation begins.
Why this idea is here
What the evidence establishes.
Source-backed premise: the cited captures establish enterprise adoption and deployment friction. Editorial projection: A shared diagnostic can grade workflows by data access, reversibility, policy clarity, and measurable economic value before automation. The sources do not prove that outcome; the observable adoption test is whether buyers use a common readiness score to approve or reject automation candidates.
