The Mirror Test

A 10-question diagnostic
for the CTO who has
stopped pretending.

Based on the MuShuHaRi framework from How to Build an AI-Enabled Enterprise. Reveals where your organization actually stands on the path to AI maturity — and which AI archetypes to deploy next, in what order, with what graduation criteria.

The mirror does not lie. It is the only Sensei that cannot be bribed.

— Doujou proverb

Two rules before you begin

Answer what is true today. Not what will be true next quarter. Not what is in progress. Every question has a trap — the rationalization that allows an organization to score itself higher than reality warrants.

Yes scores 1.Anything else — "in progress," "almost," "we have a plan for this" — scores 0. The diagnostic is not a performance review. It tells you which exercises will make you stronger and which ones will tear the ACL.

Step One — The Roster

Before the test, who walks the path?

Your honest score belongs to you. We use this only to send your personalized report and — if you wish — to schedule a follow-up. No newsletter spam. No third-party sharing. Ever.

Step Two — The Doujou

The state of your doujou.

A few numbers so the score becomes a personalized invoice. Ranges are fine — we use these to calibrate the Hidden Year math, not to audit your books.

Question 01 of 10 · Dedicated AI Team

Do you have a ring-fenced team focused exclusively on AI — not IT support, not ERP maintenance, not general engineering, but AI specifically?
