Ready for discovery and procurement, with evidence to show it.

The checklist works through ten readiness areas that reflect how public-sector digital initiatives are actually assessed: outcome, users and accessibility, decision rights, current-state workflow, data and systems, governance, procurement, measurement, ownership and support. Each area is marked sufficiently defined or gapped against fixed criteria, with room for notes and evidence attachments as the record builds.

The output is a project-specific readiness record, not a generic maturity score, and routing is conservative by design: this is a professional preparation resource, and product or service suggestions appear only where they are demonstrably relevant to the proposed service.

Results are rule-based guidance generated from self-reported answers. They are directional, not accounting, legal or other professional advice, and a professional review working from evidence may reach different conclusions.

The checklist is designed to run inside Web Lifter Studio for registered users from government, delivery partners and organisations preparing a public-sector initiative. Each record is saved against one specific initiative in your own workspace, maintained through discovery and procurement stages, and preserved so context carries into a later enquiry or alliance handoff only if you initiate one. Responses and attachments are used to generate your result; they are not published. If you join the waitlist before launch, your details are used only to tell you when the tool opens.

Public-sector initiatives move through stage gates, and readiness at the concept stage means little at the approach-to-market stage. The checklist is designed so the record persists: it can be reassessed at each gate, evidence and notes accumulate against the same initiative, and the current state of readiness is always documented rather than reconstructed. If the initiative later involves Web Lifter or an alliance partner, the context is already in order. On your initiative, not ours.

This is a preparation resource, not a sales funnel. The areas assessed (decision rights, records, accessibility, privacy, security, benefits measurement, service ownership) are the ones that stall real initiatives, and the honest output is often a list of questions for your own specialists. Where a pathway to structured support makes sense, the checklist points to it conservatively: government solutions work, technology strategy, data and decision-making, or engineering, surfaced only where the initiative demonstrably calls for it.
