The framework underneath

Where the Field Guide comes from

The Field Guide is built from Eleved's Higher Ed AI Readiness Framework: five pillars and 23 domains for helping institutions move from scattered AI activity to practical institutional readiness. Compass is the assessment and planning tool in the works from eleved.ai to support and build on that framework — a way to turn these questions into a current-state picture and a plan an institution can actually run.

Compass is in early development. Join the early-access list to help shape it and be first in line when it opens.
