Custom Scan: an in-house investigation, tailored to your question<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The three standard scans (Persona, Team, Maturity) cover the most frequently requested research questions regarding AI adoption. However, sometimes none of them fit exactly, or you want to measure something that is deeper, broader, or more sector-specific.<\/p>\n

A Custom Scan is not a fixed product. It is a framework in which we design a tailor-made study together with you: specific items, dimensions, and analysis. We use the scientific basis of our standard scans as a foundation, ensuring the outcome remains defensible. The scope, target group, and research questions are followed exactly as you desire.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

What is the AI Custom Scan?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A Custom Scan is a tailored assessment designed around a specific question or context. We use the scientific foundation of our three standard scans (on technology acceptance, technology adoption, and organizational maturity) as a basis, and build upon this to create a questionnaire, dimension set, and analysis that fits your specific issue.<\/p>\n

The Custom Scan has two common forms of application. The first is a sector or domain scan: for example, an AI maturity assessment tailored to the specific challenges in healthcare, education, or government, with sector-specific benchmarks. The second is an issue scan: an assessment centered on a concrete theme (for example, AI safety in a supply chain setting, or the impact of AI on a specific professional group).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

How a Custom Scan is created<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A Custom Scan always begins with a conversation, not a quotation. Only when we have jointly determined what is actually at stake do we design the research. That design is always transparent: you see what we ask, why, and how we will analyze it, before the scan goes into execution.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The short answer: choose a standard scan if your question fits well within our existing approach. That is usually the best option, because standard scans are validated, comparable across organizations, and faster to deliver. Choose a Custom Scan only if the standard scan really does not fit.<\/p>\n

For a Custom Scan, you invest more time in the design upfront, and the turnaround time is longer than for a standard scan. You receive a solution that is perfectly suited to your context, with broader benchmarking capabilities within your sector once we have built up that data.<\/p>\n
