Symptom
Data exists, but it is scattered, poorly structured or hard to connect.
Level 0 - AI-Ready
AI-Ready
The system first needs usable data, processes, architecture, governance and access.
Intervention
Mapping, prioritization, progressive modernization and preparation of first sensors.
Outcome
A foundation that can move toward AI graft or AI integration.
Level assessment
Level 0 — Pre-AI / blocking legacy
This level covers systems that are not yet ready to receive AI safely. Architecture, data, processes or technical debt form a prerequisite barrier: poorly structured data, unreliable APIs, silos, obsolete interfaces and weak governance.
Test
The priority is not to graft or integrate AI yet, but to make the system AI-compatible.
Examples
Modernize the foundation, expose useful data, structure flows, instrument usage and remove legacy blockers.
Watch out
A Level 0 system must first regain the ability to evolve before entering the GENOME™ path.
