Next Mountain Assessments · All Free

Start with an honest read.

Three short diagnostics, each measuring something different: your organization, the way you’re wired, and how you’re leading through the shift. None of them is a lead magnet dressed as a quiz. Each one gives you a real result, and two of the three show it to you before we ask for anything.

3 to 15 minutes · Free · No account, no sales call attached.

The Assessments

Three questions worth answering honestly.

Your organizationStart here

AI Readiness Assessment

“Is my organization actually ready for AI — or just eager?”

Most organizations don't fail at AI for lack of interest. They fail because enthusiasm runs ahead of the ability to absorb it. This measures both — your leadership's Appetite and your organization's Foundation — and shows you the gap between them.

What you get

  • Which of four quadrants you land in — Eager but exposed, Capable but uncommitted, Not yet, or Ready to build
  • Why that position is expensive, and what it usually costs the organizations in it
  • Three next moves tied to your own weakest answer, not generic advice
  • 10 questions
  • About 3 minutes

How you're wired

The AI Edge

“How should someone wired like me actually use AI?”

A climb, not a form. Twenty-one forks in the trail, three obstacles, one summit. At each fork you pick the statement that sounds more like you, and the route you take names your strongest of seven archetypes — and what this era does to it.

What you get

  • Your archetype of seven: Guide, Strategist, Builder, Communicator, Operator, Guardian, or Translator
  • A straight verdict on where the market is taking it — Rising, Repositioning, or Exposed
  • What AI absorbs and what it amplifies for someone with your wiring, plus three moves
  • A short video from Jeff on your archetype
  • 21 forks
  • About 4 minutes
  • Free
  • Profile revealed at the summit

How you're leading

The Leadership Inventory

“Am I leading through this from calling — or from noise?”

The long one. Thirty questions across eight dimensions of leading under sustained pressure: posture, essence, vision, discernment, human advantage, leverage, team trust, and stewardship rhythm. It is less a quiz than a structured hour with yourself, compressed into fifteen minutes.

What you get

  • Your zone — Reactive Curiosity, Aware but Adrift, Mapping the Climb, or Leading from Calling
  • Your strongest dimension and your growth dimension, each with a plain diagnostic
  • Three reflection questions written for the zone you're actually in
  • A written report at a link you can return to
  • 30 questions
  • About 15 minutes

After the result

A result is a starting point, not a verdict.

Every one of these tells you where you stand. None of them tells you what to do on Monday — that takes other people. Assessments are the first rung of the climb: after them come Compass Sessions (free, weekly, 30 minutes), Base Camp (monthly briefing and live coaching), and the Summit (two days in Boulder). Take a result into any of them and you’ll be starting from something real.

You can take all three. Most people start with one.

Before You Start

What people ask.

Yes. All three, in full. There is no paid tier of any assessment, no upgrade to see the rest of your result, and no sales call attached to finishing one.

Three minutes is a cheap price for knowing where you stand.
