Portfolio Diagnostic
Where Does Your AI
Portfolio Actually Sit?
The 9Q Grid maps every AI initiative across two questions: how much agency does the AI hold? and what kind of work is it doing?
A map, not a maturity ladder. For readiness and maturity questions, use the Helix AI readiness diagnostic ↗.
Answer 6 honest questions about how your AI actually works in practice — not how it's narrated in board decks — and we'll map your real position.
