# AI Adoption Score

> Research-based assessment of the human side of AI adoption — skills, habits, and culture, validated across 44 teams.

AI Adoption Score, by Ralabs, measures how AI is actually used across an organization through short surveys, then maps every person, team, and department to one of five maturity levels (L1 Observer → L5 Native) across five dimensions: Usage, Skills, Impact, Culture, and Vision.
