AI Readiness Check for Your Firm

12 questions, built on the topic areas of the AI FAQ published by Germany's Federal Chamber of Tax Advisors. The result names your open action areas — evaluated in your browser, your answers never leave your device.

What the check covers

Germany's Federal Chamber of Tax Advisors (Bundessteuerberaterkammer) has published an openly accessible FAQ on artificial intelligence that describes what responsible AI adoption in a tax firm requires — from staff competence and tool governance to confidentiality and quality assurance. This check translates those topic areas into 12 questions. It is written for tax firms, but it fits any organisation that works with confidential client or patient data.

How it works

Answer each question with Yes, Partly, or No. The result leads with the answer — how many topic areas your responses leave open — followed by what makes sense to do next in each open area. No score, no comparison with other firms: only your own answers, sorted into action areas.

1. Competence & Training

Have the people who use AI tools received training for it — prompts, typical failure modes, bias?
Is AI training a fixed part of your calendar, rather than left to chance?

2. Strategy & Prioritisation

Have you decided which processes get AI support first — by benefit and effort, not gut feeling?
Do you measure what AI actually delivers, such as time per case or turnaround?

3. Tool Governance

Is there an approval step before a new AI tool enters day-to-day work?
Are AI accounts managed centrally — rather than private accounts used for work?

4. Data Protection & Confidentiality

Is it written down which data may go into which AI tools — and which never may, such as client names, tax returns, or salary data?
For every AI tool you use, do you know where the data is processed — EU servers, data-processing agreement, certifications?

5. Documentation & Duties to Inform

Is your AI use documented — with a risk assessment per use case?
Are employees, and clients where required, informed about your AI use?

6. Quality Assurance

Is every AI output reviewed professionally before it enters a work product?
Is it clearly settled who is responsible for the quality of AI-assisted results?

Common questions about the check

What does the check cost, and what happens to my answers?
Nothing, and nothing. The check runs in your browser with no sign-up and no email address. Your answers are evaluated on your device only and are never transmitted anywhere.
What are the questions based on?
On the topic areas of the AI FAQ published by Germany's Federal Chamber of Tax Advisors (Bundessteuerberaterkammer, BStBK) — an openly accessible document by the professional chamber. The check is an independent offering by AILoopwise and has no affiliation with the BStBK.
Is the result a legal assessment?
No. The result names action areas based on your own answers. It is not legal advice and does not replace an individual review by your data-protection or professional-law counsel.
Who is the check for?
It is written for tax firms. But the topic areas — competence, strategy, tool governance, data protection, documentation, quality assurance — apply just as much to law firms, medical practices, and any organisation working with confidential data.
