Identifies organizational, technical, operational, financial and consumer-readiness gaps.
GovernancePhase 01 · Readiness Assessment
WHY THIS ANNEX EXISTS
A decision instrument, not a paperwork exercise.
Create a cross-functional picture of whether the utility is prepared to govern, design, operate and support an AMI program before equipment or schedule becomes the center of the discussion.
Start with uncertainty.
Use the annex to make the decision and its missing evidence visible before discussing a preferred product or schedule.
- 01Is executive sponsorship and decision authority clear?
- 02Are operating objectives tied to measurable utility and consumer outcomes?
- 03Do engineering, ICT, billing, finance and customer-service owners understand their responsibilities?
- 04Which readiness gaps could invalidate a pilot or delay procurement?
WHAT THE TEAM BRINGS
Required inputs
- Current organization and governance structure
- Metering, billing, ICT and field-operation descriptions
- Known modernization objectives and constraints
- Available policies, budgets, skills and consumer-support processes
WHAT THE TEAM PRODUCES
Controlled outputs
- Readiness profile by domain
- Evidence-gap and risk register
- Named owners for corrective actions
- Recommended sequence before pilot planning
Four disciplined moves.
Score only conditions supported by current evidence.
Record gaps, dependencies and accountable owners.
Review whether the utility may proceed, must close gaps or needs deeper assessment.
IMPORTANT CONTROL BOUNDARY
What this page does not do.
A readiness score is a planning indicator, not a certification, regulatory finding or assurance that an AMI project should proceed. This educational page explains the instrument but does not reproduce its complete working tables. Use the controlled Protocol PDF and the responsible professional or authority for actual project work.
USE THE AUTHORITATIVE VERSION
Open the complete working instrument in Protocol 3.2.
The downloadable publication preserves the full annex, version context and framework limitations.
