Guardrails gap checker · Ten questions · Three minutes · No sign-up - Ten things every governed AI use has. Count how many you have.
Ten plain questions, one for each thing a governed AI use needs: a policy, a register, owners, a briefing, data rules, access, vendor review, the Privacy Act wording, a way to raise a problem and a review date. You get your stage on a five-step ladder, the gaps in order, the fixed-price step that closes the first, and a summary to keep or send. Nothing you enter leaves your browser.

How the score works - Plain rules, so you can check the result yourself.
No weighting tricks and no hidden lead score. 10 dimensions, three points each, 30 at the top, scored the same way for everyone.
Ten dimensions, three points each
Policy, register, owners, briefing, data rules, access, vendor review, Privacy Act wording, raising problems and review cadence each score 0 to 3 from one question. Thirty is the top score.
A five-step ladder, not just a score
The total places you on a ladder from None to Operational. Each rung is the next six points, and the gaps list on the result is the order to close them in.
One answer can override everything
Personal accounts with client data going in put the result in the Critical tier whatever the total, because that is a data-loss problem before it is a governance one.
The published tier is read, not guessed
Whether the Lean or the Standard scope of the Guardrails Pack fits is worked out from your answers and read from the published price, never retyped.
