Improve your score

Want to improve your Agent Readiness score? Our team can help.

Ascendion is AI-mature and presents as a focused digital AI builder, with an engineering-heavy workforce, modern pipelines, and clear project-level agent activity. Bedrock, SageMaker, Glue, Redshift, Airflow, Iceberg, and AutoGen provide a credible stack, while AAVA's availability in AWS Marketplace turns software-development agents into an accessible product offer; leadership depth, monitoring, and adoption across teams are less established. Its readiness will compound fastest if AAVA becomes a governed delivery system with shared evaluations and broader internal ownership, not only a strong marketplace proposition.

Position in the industry distribution

The industry median is the anchor. Half of Professional Services companies sit below it, half above.

Just 10% do this, the rarest and most telling step
