# Readiness trap worksheet

**Related lesson:** When a Readiness Quiz “Yes” Is a Trap  
**Tool:** `/tools/readiness-quiz`

The quiz is a mood check. This sheet is the permit. If you cannot point at a file, the yes is a trap.

## Trap table

For each row: write the evidence as a **file name or link**, or write **none**.

| # | Quiz-shaped yes | Evidence (file / link / none) | Real yes or trap? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | We use AI on a *named recurring job* with a saved prompt and a review step | | |
| 2 | A process doc exists, is dated this year, and a second person has used it without calling the owner | | |
| 3 | An automation has successful runs from *last week* and a known error inbox | | |
| 4 | There is a real budget line or allowed card for *one* tool, with a review date | | |
| 5 | Two people can run the workflow from the SOP without the owner in the room | | |
| 6 | Traps 1–5 are actually yes (not “mostly”) | | |

**Traps marked:** ________ / 6

If **three or more** are traps: do not start a vendor trial. Write one SOP or take `/learn/prompt-voice`. The compliment in the quiz title does not override this sheet.

## Interrogation prompt

```
I am checking whether a "we are ready for AI" claim is real.
Business: [what we do], [headcount], [town].
The claim: [claim].
Evidence I have:
[paste or "I cannot find a file"]

1. Could a second person run this next Tuesday without calling me?
2. What three facts are missing?
3. What is the smallest artifact I should write this week (one page max)?
Do not congratulate me. Do not suggest a software purchase.
If the evidence is a vibe, say it is a vibe.
