Sample / Example Tool: This assessment is illustrative and educational only. It is not a formal WEKID™ certification, advisory opinion, compliance determination, or authorization decision.
WEKID™ GOVERNANCE ASSESSMENT

Assess governance strength across the full WEKID hierarchy.

Assess your system with both WEKID™ models: the Epistemic Maturity Model scores governance strength across Wisdom, Experience, Knowledge, Information and Data into a Maturity Score; the Trust Bridge tests it against the required threshold; and the AI Decision Authority Model translates the result into a recommended authority ceiling — how much decision authority the system should be trusted with, and whether its current authority is over-delegated, aligned, or has headroom.

Visibility is not authority. Use the output as a governance signal, not as permission for autonomous action.

Start with Sample for directional insight. Use Guided for more structured review. Certified requires formal advisory engagement.

Tier 1

Sample Assessment

Illustrative, quick, and self-scored. Suitable for initial screening and internal discussion.

  • Detailed example questions by WEKID layer
  • Instant directional score
  • No claim of certification or readiness
Tier 2

Guided Assessment

More structured intake with deeper prompts and report-oriented output.

  • Expanded question set
  • Contact capture and structured summary
  • Still non-certified and non-authoritative
AppDev

Application Development

Assess an AI-assisted application against Epistemic Quality standards — artifact maturity plus the Release Authority each change class requires.

  • Layers mapped to engineering artifacts
  • Release Authority recommendation (L1–L5)
  • Under-governed / aligned release-gate verdict
Tier 3

Certified Assessment

Formal WEKID™ engagement requiring human review, evidence validation, and advisory interpretation.

  • Authority-bound evaluation
  • Executive briefing and remediation guidance
  • Not self-service

How to score each question: 0–5 maturity scale

Choose Assessment Tier

Use the same scoring logic across all layers. Score the current operating reality, not the planned future state.

0 — Not PresentNo meaningful control, evidence, or repeatable practice exists.
1 — Ad HocActivities occur inconsistently, depend on individuals, and are not reliably documented.
2 — PartialSome controls or practices exist, but coverage is incomplete or uneven.
3 — DefinedProcesses are documented, assigned, and generally followed for the intended scope.
4 — MeasuredControls are monitored, tested, and supported by evidence, metrics, or review cycles.
5 — OperationalizedPractices are embedded, continuously improved, and demonstrably effective under real conditions.

How to choose the score

  • Use 0–1 when governance depends mostly on informal effort or good intentions.
  • Use 2–3 when governance exists but still has gaps in consistency, coverage, or evidence.
  • Use 4–5 only when you can point to proof: logs, test results, approvals, audit trails, playbooks, metrics, or operating history.

A high score should be evidence-backed. If evidence is weak, score lower.

Disclaimer

This tool is a sample implementation of the WEKID™ framework and is intended solely for demonstration and educational use. Results are based on simplified scoring logic and self-reported inputs.

Outputs do not represent a comprehensive evaluation of any system, organization, or governance program and should not be used as the sole basis for decision-making, compliance validation, certification, investment, or regulatory reporting.

Formal WEKID™ assessments require evidence validation, context review, and human authority to interpret findings and set boundaries for use.
